My first Christmas cake! (thanks #delia)
A big thanks to Waitrose and Delia! I used her Classic Christmas Cake prepared ingredient pack. Had long Twitter discussions with @englishmum and @homemademum regarding cooking times. Yes, my first one really did take four hours!

That looks incredibly delicious. I do like fruit cake but it doesn’t half play havoc with my heartburn!!
Who needs to buy one when you can make one like that.

Do you know, I have been picking up that pack in Waitrose for weeks, then putting it back thinking ‘it will never work’. I’m going to put one in my trolley tomorrow morning. If mine doesn’t look like yours, I’m buying in.

Mmmmm looks lovely, the trouble is I’d want to tuck in right away but you can’t!
I’ve never made one either, just decorated a few, been contemplating it though. Must get on with it if I’m going to.

It looks scrummy – I love Christmas cake and a cuppa!

That actually looks quite fabulous, well done! And I dont even like Christmas cake. Although my husband did introduce me to the idea of slicing it up and frying it in butter. That was divine. My thighs hated it though.
Happy Thanksgiving!! x

Looks perfect, well done. Pity I don’t like Christmas cake or pudding. I’d rather stick to our Panettone or Pandoro….Ciao. A. PS. My Spa break is on 18th Dec. Yeah! I will report back. Many thanks again.

That is quite an accomplishment, congratulations! I don’t think I’ve ever tried Christmas cake, at least the traditional version. It sounds delish with all those dried fruits.

Mmm, that looks perfect. Just like my Mum’s.
Meanwhile, we’re getting ready to cook the Thanksgiving turkey….

Four hours? Four hours? Right well, that’s it. I’m not even going to think about it. Especially over here where the mere mention of a Christmas cake produces gales of laughter!!!

Are you absolutely sure that is your own photo Ms Scott?! Looks marvellous. Where’s the tacky decorations – we need to see the finished article in a few weeks please.
