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!)
