I started to make my step dad's birthday cake for his 60th.
The cakes I make take two months in total.
They are rich fruit cakes and I feed them with brandy.
People say that they are the best cakes they have ever tried and beg me to make them for them.
These cakes are not cheap to make. They probably cost £30 in total to make including icing. So they are not cheap cakes.
The funny thing is I don't like them at all and prefer sponge cake.
Anyway my mum asked me to make one for my step fathers 60th Birthday. She's getting a big sponge cake for the party but she wanted something for the family so she asked me to do her the cake.
I was actually meant to make it the weekend before last but I forgot to make it so it didn't get done. Then I was gonna do it the weekend just gone but I didn't end up doing it.
I started to soak the fruit yesterday so I could do it today. So now I have to mix all the other ingredients together and put in the oven.
It takes forever to cook and I have to keep an eye over it as that cooker plays up and cooks things faster than it should so I will be having to cookers temperature lower than it should be as it cooks the cake faster than it should be cooked and ends up ruinin the cake.
The cake is needed in 46 days so that is long enough. That's just over six weeks so I have managed to do it in time.
So I shall be mixing all the ingredients together soon and then I shall be putting it in the oven.
