Having Your Cake and Eating It


I baked the Christmas cake over a week ago and have been adding scotch, brandy, rum and calvados in equal quantities. It's now well wrapped in cling-film and just about ready to finish off, but I detest marzipan (despite loving almonds and Stollen) and Hay isn't that enamoured of Royal icing.


The compromise is going to have to be almonds and glacé cherries with an apricot jam glaze. Just one, big Dundee cake.

Any other decorative suggestions welcome.
