Imperfect but finished. Everything is a learning experience, and I'm happy! Not much time to be making anything else at the moment apart from a seriously bricklike Christmas cake.
beautiful, and good luck with the cake. Last year my cake was rotten but we manfully ate half of it. I realised when making this years I put it in at 240 instead of 140! Roast cake instead of baked cake.
I love it, so cute and obviously made with love! Brandy is definitely the answer for Christmas cake... I soak the fruit for a few days first (I have a suspicion that I undercooked it a bit, oh well, as I'm the only one who eats it, I don't think that will be a problem).
You say imperfect, I say unique. What a beautiful piece of work that I'm sure gave as much joy in the making as it will in the receiving. Good luck with the cake :)

ReplyDeleteloooovely ! I admire anyone who attempts to make a xmas cake, and i like the advise of adding loads of brandy :)
ReplyDeleteI don't think it's imperfect at all, your stitching has character and charm. Yum yum to Christmas cake x
