Okay, so this isn't very exciting but Jayne makes a Christmas cake every year and tradition says whoever is in the household has to make a wish while stirring the mixture... very important! Actually, Jayne made two this year and gave one to Matt and Anna... well, you remember the trauma when we ran out of cake last year after we gave them a chunk of it? ;) We made them some special wishes too.
Jayne checks the almonds are okay...
It's all coming together nicely now - thank goodness for KitchenAid mixers!
Jayne makes her wish
Adam clearly made a very big wish (so long as that's all it was)
Even Safi made a wish... probably to get her tongue in the bowl (they don't all come true)
Into the tin...
... and into the oven
Done!Next was the month or so of feeding the cake with brandy to make it just so. Actually, the brandy was very much skimped on this year owing to Jayne's pregnancy... and no, it didn't taste the same.
