Busy Quilting Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 It has cooled down today so I am making my Christmas Cake. I've kept myself a small bowl of the mix before the flour is added. As a young girl mum used to have to make it while we were at school, as we would eat the cake before it was cooked. She tried one year serving us up a plate full each before cooking. It took us a few days but we all finished "our cake". I now make mine in muffin tins with papers so we can have individual cakes/puddings any time we want. I even have custard in the fridge ready for my desert tonight. Lyn Cooking Cakes and loving it!
