People ringing in were championing other deserts like Black Forest Gateaux and Pavlovas for after lunch. There was one lady who was an ex Bake Off contestant who tried to sing the good old Christmas cakes praises, but admitted that other deserts were more popular. O.M.G!!! I absolutely LOVE it, and Christmas pudding too!! Is the old fashioned Christmas Cake now a thing of the past?? Blame Nigella! https://amp.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2023/nov/26/nigella-lawson-tells-britain-to-give-christmas-cake-the-heave-ho-ho-ho I love Christmas cake too. Apparently there are lots of people that don’t like dried fruit which I never understand. Some of the Christmas cake alternatives seem a bit too sweet and sickly for me especially after all the other Christmas food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the icing and marzipan I dislike and so don't ice the one's I make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cressida Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 Xmas cake is too stodgy for me, I buy two of the thin iced ones for £2.50 each and put them together, icing is softer - I do like marzipan also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
