Well I did!!! I started early this year as compared with my previous fruit cake attempt. I still have one loaf in my fridge... yeah going to be a year old already! I still feed the cake occasionally with brandy as and when I'm not lazy. Can't wait to savour it this Christmas!
Hahaha this is my first batch... more to come! This recipe can bake up to 3 loaves of fruit cake. Just remember to buy extra nuts and cherries for the decor. I've baked them in foil container so that I can give them away as gift. Now I need some ideas on how to wrap them up... stay tune.
It's still not too late, go start baking yours now!

ReplyDeletemeiyen, actually this is the simplest recipe that i've found. long list was due to the preparation of the dried fruits and nuts but really this is a very very simple recipe. boil the fruits, add in flour then can bake already
J, go make your own hahaha still got time

ReplyDeleteI'm not sure whether I like fruit cakes or not because some fruit cake I like but some I dont like. But I love christmas pudding. Not the one that look like a fruit cake, but those black in colour xmas pudding. I think I will make a gingerbreadman fully icing and gingerbread cookies fully icing too. I love to ice the cookies.
ReplyDeletesc, am sure with some practises, you can be good too
ReplyDeleteyaka teckiee? so cannot cheat like that!
