She's coming up herself in March and I just know she's going to ask about food any day now.<BR/><BR/>Oh crumbs! Even I don't list that far ahead!

Despite soaking the fruit in brandy over-night before baking, and then feeding the cake with brandy every fortnight for two months, I still felt that it needed more brandy. You could hardly taste the brandy!<BR/><BR/>This year I'm not making a fruit cake (despite the fact that it's such a lovely things to do and smells so good whilst cooking).
