With diabetes (not on insulin) I limit sugar intake plus it is just my husband and me so we don’t need large cakes sitting around. I do eat cake (scrapping off the icing) at my grandchildren’s birthday parties.
Wow! That is some cake. There are only two of us, so like Sheila, we don’t buy large cakes. The deli at our grocery will cut cakes into smaller packaged servings and I will buy a slice or two of our favorites [when they have them]. Thanks for sharing this with us. Blessings, Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year. Goodness, it sounds so strange to be saying that. Stay safe and healthy.
I don’t bake now and eat very little cake. I’m not a fan of icing so before my daughter went to Australia she always made one using dried apricots, cherries and other favourites (not sultanas or currants/raisins) along with chopped nuts! She topped it with marzipan (a definite favourite!) then nuts glazed with apricot jam! Absolutely yummy!
It was perhaps slightly smaller than the one in the video (wink wink!)

My grandmother made fruitcakes and it was one of the sweet memories of my daddy’s childhood. I never gave them much thought till I married my husband who is a diehard fan of fruitcake. It’s only July, so I think I have time to finally give it a try like his mother also used to do. In this fast paced world, we need to slow down and enjoy a few family traditions. Merry Christmas, everyone! 🎄
