Christmas cake is horrid. Morgawse Send a noteboard - 04/12/2011 07:25:59 PM
As is Christmas pudding. And I'm not 100% clear on the distinction either, seems like one is very much like the other but minus the marzipan and icing.

Thankfully this means that when we have to spend Christmas at the outlaws (not this year! Hurray!) the boyfriend's mother gets a chocolate cake that's just for him and me to share. (He does not like Christmas cake either, the rest of his family do) This arrangement suits me just fine :D It almost makes up for the ridiculously large turkey that will turn up, in leftovers form, in every meal for the following week. I don't even like turkey. Neither do the rest of them. They just eat it because they feel they're supposed to, at Christmas. Christmas in Britain is entirely mad if you ask me. Not necessarily in a bad way, but...very odd if you grew up elsewhere.

We don't have a sheet of icing? - 04/12/2011 05:08:00 PM 646 Views
We have different icing. It is not typically a very dense, flat sheet of solid icing. Like fondant. - 04/12/2011 07:46:41 PM 915 Views
That's just for Christmas cakes and wedding cakes, usually. - 04/12/2011 07:58:55 PM 736 Views
