Oh, the delightful smells of festive baking have begun in our home once again, starting with our traditional Christmas fruit cake which is always baked around this time of year in order for it to be well 'ripened' by Christmas...
How exciting to beat together the eggs and brown sugar and gently stir
in the wonderful spices: cloves, cinnamon and mace and the fruit mix to
create a beautiful Christmas cake, which will mature until a few days
before Christmas when we will decorate it especially for the special occasion
whilst singing along to cheerful carols of the season...
Have you made
your Christmas fruit cake yet? Are you
planning to decorate it in any particular way this year? {Do see my post from last year for some
beautiful ideas here...}
And if you haven’t made yours yet or you are seeking out a new recipe to
try, do stay tuned for ours which I will be sharing with you all tomorrow!
~ Sweet blessings on your day dear readers ~

I'm not a great fan of fruitcakes, but that one looks good!
I have never made fruit cake before, and had no idea that it needed to be made so far in advance! It sounds like a wonderful tradition. I love Christmas baking.
That cakes sound good!
I am going to be making a ginger bread house!
