Looks really good Lollykins.
 
I’m not really a cake eater, but I do like Christmas Cake.
 
I think with the good ingredients and the spirits fed in they will be fabulous.
 
Me, I'm fully metric, can't be doing with pounds and ounces.

Sounds gorgeous. I like the undiluted orange squash. i use fresh oranges, juice and zest, according to Delia, but the squash sounds like it would have more flavour.

I made some candied peel earlier in the year, which I shall use to decorate my cakes.
