The story so far… I have made the first Christmas Cake and it is now in the oven for four hours.
Here is the mixture half done. My Grandma taught me how to bake and although I have made millions of cakes I still hear her instructions when I am creaming the butter and sugar together and then adding the flour!
The other side of my kitchen and of course you have to watch a Christmas film while baking, “Home Alone”!!!!!!! Actually Treacle and I are Home Alone at the moment as DH and the Boys are out getting hair cuts!!!!!
I hate to say it but I am generally a messy cook!
All the ingredients are in now
In the tin
And all wrapped like a Christmas present! Now just the four hour wait!
I have put all the bowls into the dishwasher now and then I will prepare the mixture for the two smaller cakes and get them baking when this one is out. Tonight it is Christmas card writing!!!!
It’s Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas…!
More pictures later!
Guess who’s helping?
Hugs, Susie x
You are most organised but I’m a bit surprised Treacle’s not got cake batter on her muzzle!
Love the TV on the wall in the kitchen!!! Home Alone is a fun movie, although I can’t imagine that happening! Your Christmas cake looks lovely!!!
Your kitchen looks so beautiful and we know those cakes are going to be yummy! We hope you got to lick the spoon, Treacle!
