    Geez Gill, you are making me salivate. Stop please! Short of that, you can make one for me - I'm no chef.

    From the "sound" of it that's one hell of a cake. I want a piece.

    Can't make it though, 'cause if all goes well I'll be in Oregon for Christmas.

    Lots of Christmas trees there.

    lol

    Gill,

    I've made them a couple of times - it is amazing how delicious a 3-month old cake can be! Yes, the period soaking with rum or brandy is important.

    As you may know, many people in the US do not appreciate fruit cake - there are jokes every year about gifts of fruit cakes being recycled (re-gifted) year after year, no one actually eating it. Personally, I consider a good fruit cake a major treat!

    Happy Christmas!

    Andy, you fruit cake, you! Are you well-soaked in brandy?

    Sounds like a brandy cake.

    Does it sneak up on you.?

    Does it taste like biting into a drink.?
