Every year Mr Lucey bakes our christmas cake and when we were in Shepherds purse in Whitby on the counter was a plate of christmas cake to sample.
It tasted rather yummy so we bought the bake it yourself kit, along with a few extras and yesterday morning Mr L set to...
In no time at all all the ingredients were carefully mixed together in a big bowl with a little drop of sherry, christmas wouldn't be christmas without a drop or two of sherry!!!
The mixture was spooned into a tin and baked slowly in the oven for 5 hours while we took the dogs for a leisurely walk along the country lanes admiring the views as we meandered along.
When we got back the house was filled with the most delicious smell, and the cake was ready to come out of the oven. We were tempted to cut it but, mouth watering we wrapped it in tin foil where nearer christmas we'll ice the top and put a snowman and a little robin on, It's probrably cheaper to buy a cake but I think home made ones taste loads better, do you prefer to buy or bake??? Bye for now Lucey xx
