The Solitary Suppers Christmas Cake......


A little bit of fun was had this Sunday morning...... 

A couple of weeks ago I quartered Delia's Christmas cake recipe and added a few chopped glace cherries because I like them.  I baked the mixture in a small pork pie tin at 140C for 2 1/2 hours.  I then fed the cake with brandy for a few days.  When I had run out of brandy I covered the cake with marzipan and allowed it to dry for 3 days.

And this morning I had a play.

HOW old am I?  Don't answer that.....
