Normally I had planned to post my Daring bakers post, but I guess that one will have to wait for a week more.Today I want to post a Special good news.
Today we are celebrating Our 20 th Wedding Anniversary.
Looks like years have just flown.
Ofcourse as most of the marriage we have had Good times and Bad Times. But it is the plenty of Good times that I want to celebrate.
And we indeed are celebrating today with our family with a small party, I was telling hubby dear why did we get married on this month as there is so many parties in this short time that no one would want to eat anything anymore :-) But I guess we have not trouble in clebrating with good family, food wine and good food.Now I din't make this cake especially for today.
This is my christmas cake but I thought as it is a celebration I would post this Delicious Spicy Christmas Cake. I made this last year and I loved it so much and this has ended up beeing my sisters and friends favourite recipe and mine too as I made them again this year.
I did add some 150 gm more fruit than the original recipe and soaked the fruits for almost 3 weeks and then made the cake and left it to mature for another 2 weeks. Before wrapping up the cake for maturing poked witha tooth pick on top and poured 2 tabp of Brandy.
I coverd the cake with Marzipaan and the snowman and the snow flakes I did with Royal Icing.
Congrats F for 20th anniversary, wishing u more and more happiness and health on this day..Spicy cake looks super tempting,cute snow man & pretty snow flakes..loved it..
ReplyDeleteHappy 20th Marriage anniversary HC. May God bless you with many more such decades.
ReplyDeletelove this cake and the cute snowman. lots of love and hugs coming your way.
Congratulations on your anniversary!!
ReplyDeleteThis cake is beautiful!
I feel so sorry for your kids if you have any and they are eating these... you use so much of food color very unhealthy especially for kids. It has been proved the kids eating food containing food color are aggravating ADD and ADHD (Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) symptoms and the other being Cancer.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!!! Happy Anniversary!!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on a your 20th wedding anniversary. A sure reason to celebrate whatever time of the year it is.

ReplyDeleteThe cake looks abosolutely beautiful. Was surprised to see your post in the reader since I didn't expect one during this week. Glad you took time to share your happiness with us.
Jo I use good edible color and I dont think kids eat a whole cake they eat a small slice and I dont think they are going to be get sick from it as they say everything in moderation.
