Its in the oven.......
The dried and candied fruit has been soaking in the brandy syrup since the last installment. Stiring every other day- and it is now plump, sticky and spiced.
After getting the last few bits for the cake yesterday I devoted this evening to getting project cake into the oven. Hot water on for the washing up, oven on a low heat and a brandied coffee on the side.
Unfortunately it is going to take 3.75 hours in the oven so several tantalising hours of smelling the essence of Christmas filling the flat, and fingers crossed for the outcome....
Another update when its been in a bit longer.
Sounds awesome, Mary!
