Yesterday was all about the baking. My fruit cake recipe bakes for 3 hours!
And today it was all about decorating the cake. The castle is a deep, rich, moist, dark fruit cake. Well, I say fruit cake, but really, it's about a kilo of fruit held together with a little matrix of spiced cake. The towers are flapjack, and the conical roofs are marzipan. But, don't eat the red dragon. It has toothpicks in its neck!
It was a wonderful moment when the Offsping and the Beloved came home and let out a 'Woah. That's brilliant!' However, the real magic is that the dining room has been in use for hours, and it has been returned to its pre-decorating state.
