No Christmas Without Christmas Cake

Stir-up Sunday* was last Sunday and would have been a great time to bake your Christmas cake. 

But why not make it today?

This recipe here might inspire you.

What I always enjoy most about preparing the Christmas cake is decorating it—with marzipan, icing and a few cake decorations. 

If you decide to go ahead and bake a cake, you might need some ideas on how to decorate it.

And if you create a real British Christmas cake, you might like to send me a photo.

*Stir-up Sunday is a centuries-old tradition where home cooks spend the last Sunday before Advent ‘stirring up’ their Christmas pudding.
