Mmm almost smell that from here Clarice.Sure the birds wont go without either ...can feel those starling squadrons on full alert .

BB just put a new photo of new cake mix for birds

looks good carol, why 16? put the recipe on below pic them it can go in recipe section :o)

There's a recipe section ? Obviously there is a lot on GOY I have yet to discover. Should make my winter pass quicker Lol :~)

yes muddy,, its under recipes from the garden its new so not alot on there as yet, but im sure it will get going soon

Will do it now Sandra.Done 16, as my sons and daughters like 2 each and 2 for myself, then my eldest grandson said thats not fair because he lives with is partner and he wonted some so done him some aswell

lol kids , good job carol, sent you pm to

Ok Sandra look at it now.

looks very nice

Thanks Carole I will be making this , I like to make some things early before xmas .. not so rushed at the last minute then ....

I have one of those new loaf tin shapes made out of that new fangled rubber stuff , do you think I still need to line it with tinfoil ?

It looks lovely Carol. I always helped my mother to make Christmas cakes and puddings. I could do it blind folded lol. She made so many and gave most of them away ( or rather I made them and she gave them away lol )

None this year :o((

Oh and I hated lining the tins - I used greaseproof paper, and it had to be cut in a certain way lol - my mam was very particular. Her father and grandfather were bakers and she followed suit :o)

I'm not a great one for food.

Beryl wants me to write out the recipe and make it . There's all the utensils etc in mam's house I can use. I may try.
I'm trying to get her to make it. lol

ive nominated this carol for recepies :o))

This recipe was given to me by a 75yr old lady and that was about 43yrs ago. So it is what you call an old fashion recipe. My sons like it with custard aswell as on its own, and if any left when they go back to work they but butter on it. Just taken last 2 cakes out of oven.

I bet they small wonderful :o)

Yes Hywel, I was just thinking that myself. It must really smell 'homely' round at yours tonight Clarice. It's one of those smells that takes you back to your childhood isn't it. (I only have to smell a jar of mixed spice and I'm back in my pram, being pushed by my Grandad, around the wharfs and warehouses near Tower Bridge).

Lucky family

MW Its been smelling nice all week with me doing so many.Hywel they smell and taste so good, well they will in a couple of weeks time. love old fashion recipes.

Thanks for the recipe, Clarice. I have copied it down so I can make some. I bake every week for my family so this will go down well and great that is keeps so well too.

Your welcome.

Just found this, another to try, thanks very much......

it looks great, takes me back abit................

Cheers, i'm delivering them to all the family this week. Sending some to my son aswell who lives down south, think he will be suprised to get some as he thought as he was right down there he would miss out this time.

brilliant Clarice, this looks delicious.

Yum Clarice! I make this too...we call it Plum Bread.......it doesn't last 2 weeks though..Lol!

You are right Janey it does'nt last 2wks here either, once they start to eat it, but i do tell them to leave it a couple weeks and although its so nice after a couple of weeks i think it taste even better.....

Now how did i miss this CAKE ??? I love Cake & this looks so YYYYYYYYYYYyuuuuuuuuuuuummmmmmmmmyyyyyyyyyyy Clarice :)X

Mmmmm, delicious Clarice... pass the custard, please!

Pip it is lovely with custard aswell, and with butter spread on it.

I might have a go at doing one of of these I never did any cooking at all until recently. Ready prepared meals for the micro wave and the occasional Fish and Chips . I can boil an egg though.

The amount of this recipe Poannua will make you 2 this size.
