Hope your holiday was excellent!<BR/><BR/>Kalyn - There was so much going on during dinner, it really tasted better to me the next day.<BR/><BR/>Lydia - Fortunately, most of us are of age - and then some! <BR/><BR/>DQ - This was a winner - a golden fruitcake, and the brandy really didn't overpower the flavor of the fruit. Hope your holidays have been great - looking forward to a great year ahead!<BR/><BR/>Puck - It went over very well. Barely a crumb left at this point. Next time you are on the Island, you must stop in for a fondant lesson! Or, get started on that blog ...<BR/><BR/>Louise - Fortunately, I've got one last piece to celebrate today! <BR/><BR/>Heidi and Helene - Thanks so much - hope your holiday was Merry!<BR/><BR/>Janet - I do hope I did the old English Tradition justice. It didn't quite qualify as a "retro cake" but was lots of fun, nonetheless.<BR/><BR/>Andrea - I thought the flavor was quite subtle in the end. It went very nice with a muscat dessert wine.<BR/><BR/>Lori Lynn - I've read about the cheese and port - I will have to try that next!<BR/><BR/>Cakespy - It has been a very sweet holiday! Hope the New Year brings more sweet things for you, too!T.W.
