Blackrocksrock Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 Drizzle this afternoon and after cleaning out a cupboard yesterday and discovering loads of flour and dried fruit etc - I bought glace cherries yesterday and have in the oven 2 large xmas cakes - I had a glut of my hens free range eggs too and what with the electricity going up thought I would make it now in case I cannot afford to do so/cannot be bothered in November/December time!. Thought I would feed one up with brandy and then freeze it for later. Never been this organised for xmas before! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 Blimey! I'm speechless. I think I've done well if I've made them by the end of October. They have to be the first forum Christmas cakes of 2008! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackrocksrock Posted August 3, 2008 Author Share Posted August 3, 2008 I think I must have been mad but they are lovely and wrapped up till I start feeding them brandy! Roll on Xmas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krysia Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 OMG I am inspired though, I normally do mine sept/ oct but when Ash was born in Oct I did it in Dec and poured loads of brandy on to speed up the maturing. I might just do it in the next few weeks, not only will I have more time before the next baby comes but as you say I will have more money before my income is drastically cut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
