Sitting happily in the fridge looming over the cheese
I want to introduce to you a new project of mine.
It’s got nothing to do with painting or colours ... but a lot of creativity will be involved - and a lot of sugar too.
Those of you who have known me for a few years may have noticed my
In this case was Cakes from around the World by Julie Duff which did the trick.
I found a recipe for a 'Caribbean Rum Fruit Cake' calling for
450g currants
450g raisins and
250g sultanas among various other dries fruits, spirits - and 9 eggs.

Any thoughts? Please tell me.

It’s just like in real life.
