It is, as far as I can tell. Morgawse Send a noteboard - 05/12/2011 01:55:40 PM
It sounds like a fun tradition and if you can give me a recipe that doesn't call for nasty candied fruit I might actually making it.

As I said above, I don't like the stuff at all personally, but for a recipe, try the one linked below. It's pretty much the quintessential British Christmas cake. I believe you're then supposed to feed it brandy for a few weeks, then coat it in a layer of marzipan and a layer of fondant icing.

And what kind of pie would you have at Christmas? }<img class=' />

Pumpkin, Pecan, or Chocolate Pecan.

This sounds eminently more sensible to me. Mmmm pie.

Mornings are still not for me.
Delia's Christmas Cake. Doesn't get much more British than that.

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 816 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 1099 Views
That's just for Christmas cakes and wedding cakes, usually. Rebekah - 04/12/2011 07:58:55 PM 925 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 810 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
