Cake? nossy Send a noteboard - 04/12/2011 05:03:02 PM
I'm sure some people have cake at Christmas, but cake should be for birthdays. And our cakes are typically a little different than what you do here. We don't have a sheet of icing, for one thing. Pie definitely wins. And fudge, brownies and cookies.

My family's Christmas is Second Thansgiving, but with bonus desserts. Mostly pie, cookies, and candy *NM* Burr - 04/12/2011 03:00:51 PM 503 Views
Or rather... Fifth Thanksgiving. Thanksgivings 2, 3, and 4 are all about Thanksgiving 1 leftovers. *NM* Burr - 04/12/2011 03:02:42 PM 366 Views
No, generally we do not make cake for Christmas. *NM* Tom - 04/12/2011 04:41:05 PM 382 Views

We don't have a sheet of icing? Palatine - 04/12/2011 05:08:00 PM 815 Views
We have different icing. It is not typically a very dense, flat sheet of solid icing. Like fondant. nossy - 04/12/2011 07:46:41 PM 1097 Views
That's just for Christmas cakes and wedding cakes, usually. Rebekah - 04/12/2011 07:58:55 PM 925 Views

its a fruit cake with a layer of marzipan and a layer of icing on top Yunalesca - 04/12/2011 08:32:55 PM 927 Views
Plus with loads of brandy used to "feed" the cake over the month before you ice it. Rebekah - 04/12/2011 08:45:28 PM 809 Views
i put three teaspoons on each cake once a week Yunalesca - 04/12/2011 09:35:23 PM 805 Views

Fruitcake, I guess. But we don't coat it with disgusting icing. And it's not really cake. *NM* Ghavrel - 04/12/2011 10:12:21 PM 388 Views
