Well that explains why last year's Christmas cake was so weird, not only did I drown it in brandy but rather more importantly when copying the recipe out I'd got the line with 2oz self-raising flour but missed out the line with 8oz of plain flour. Doh! Hopefully the one I'm baking this year for New Year will come out rather more like a cake and less like weirdo christmas pud that's trying to be cake shaped.

Nah, not so much organised as having lots of unexpected free time. It's good to fill it up and feel like I'm not a complete wet lettuce :-)

I think we got cloves from tesco, in a jar just like all the other spices. Sainsbury's will probably have them too. And I bet the Naz has them cheaper.

Christmas cake is the only one I try to get done early cos then I can spend longer feeding it brandy once it's cooked :-)
