Cheers Wilma, I did exactly that first thing when I got in from work. I reckon it'll take 1/4 bottle over the next few days. We'll be eating the lot though. I love Christmas cake, It'll be gone in a week...
mary berry is on the one show now.... you can feed your cake apparently ,every day with Brandy etc ;D
It's icing time - marzipan was easy - just roll out and glue on with jam, heated up as advised - I used home-made plum in the end as it's quite like apricot. ??? So - what's with glycerin? I haven't got any - does it rerally matter? I just want scruffy spoon it on style icing, not your poncy royal stuff, so it's just icing sugar, lemon and butter eggs I think? I'll just have a few brandies and make some brandy butter while I wait for a reply. ;D
So I can leave out the nitro glycerin? I've made a pound of brandy butter, do you think that's enough?
