Countdown to Christmas – 18 Money Saving Days to Go

We always make our own Christmas cake, and it’s been made since October.

Today though, we unwrapped it and spooned a few more tablespoons full of brandy over it (I know, I know, think of the cost!).

Then covering the cake in warm apricot jam, we covered it in a thin layer of marzipan.

In a weeks time we’ll finish it off with the icing and decorations.
