and so..... the ingredients....
mix it all together...
bake for two and a half hours making the whole house smell delicious.....
douse well with sherry and cover with marzipan.....
and then take the three cakes to Susan for her expertise in decorating... remember Susan? The cake is currently in the back of my car ready for transportation to the reception.
Tell you all about the wedding next week!
Oh! And I thought fruitcakes were something traditional in Canada! It was, back then.
ReplyDeleteYou're quite amazing!! Can't wait to see the finished product!
I didn't think I would enjoy making the cake, but then you gave permission to be doused with sherry...
ReplyDeleteThat cake is just lovely. What a wonderful job.
ReplyDeleteThe wedding will be spectacular and you will be beautiful. We need to see you in that hat too.
Looking forward to all the pictures forth coming.
Wow! Well done Susan - and well done you, of course, for what is underneath the icing!!!
ReplyDeleteJust stupendous. Now keep it out of harm's way!
ReplyDelete*hic* (grinning)
ReplyDeleteEnjoy Enjoy Enjoy...
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cake! Looks like you did indeed find the right decorator.
ReplyDeleteThe fruitcake looks and sounds delicious. Truth be told, too many wedding cakes here in the states are pretty, but bland and just taste of sugar..
That could be a wedding cake for royalty. I'll bet it gets rave reviews for taste and looks.
ReplyDeleteThis looks amazing...I imagine it tastes wonderful....I can almost smell it!!!
ReplyDeletehope you are able to stop by for my 100th post!
OH I neeeed to read all about thewedding. The cakes look lovely. I am about to start my christmas cake baking session soon. I bake for the whole family and it takes a lot of fruit and a lot of oven time... the house smells wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI loved both of Susan's creations. A very creative lady indeed. I think the cat should have been put back though
What a stunning wedding cake. I love fruit cake and am busy feeding my Christmas cakes with brandy.

I am one of a few people I know who enjoy good fruitcake. I've not seen a fruitcake made for a wedding before. It's beautiful!
ReplyDeleteMy best to you,
Deborah
I can taste it now (did you save a piece for us?) and can hardly wait to hear all about the wedding!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this wonderful cake!

Wow. Imagine that must be delicious. I have never knowingly tasted a cake made with fruit. So that would be unique to me.
ReplyDeletethe cake is spectacular and all those ingredients make my mouth water! mmmmm. it's getting down to the wire now isn't it?
ReplyDeleteHave a WONDERFUL time....the cake is really great looking. Have lots of pictures ready to share.
ReplyDeletewhat a nice looking cake that turned out to be, I didn't know fruitcake could be used for a wedding cake, Now i am not fond of fruit cake but once you got all that decorating done it really looks yummy.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to photos of the wedding.
Nice of you to let us share the cake - at least symbolically!
ReplyDeleteI know very little about cakes except that I like to eat them. Hope the reception goes well. Looking forward to an update.
ReplyDeleteWere your guest surprised it was a fruit cake, or could they guess, becuause of the icing?
ReplyDeleteI prefer good fruit cakes to sponge cakes too. My mom makes the best fruit cake.
ReplyDeleteThe wedding cake is gorgeous! Susan did a great job.
Oh My God! You made a wedding cake! It looks great! Our house always smells so great when I make Christmas cake, so I can only imagine what yours smelled like.
ReplyDeleteWow. You made that. Awesome.
ReplyDeleteAnd nice wedding pictures as well. Lovely bride and hopefully they're doing quite well.
