In about July, Caitie helped her dad make this year's Christmas cake. This was a new thing for me, who has always believed that a cake should be eaten within days of being made. Caitie's dad was a baker for ten years, and tells me that the best fruit cake he ever ate was five years old. Ew! lol But regardless, they made this year's Christmas cake in July, and it has been sitting in the pantry in a tin.
IThey opened the tin today to add a bit of brandy, which Caitie's dad said would help it to keep and add to the flavour too. Unfortunately, this is what they saw when they took it out of the tin...
Turns out the tin wasn't air-tight. :( I guess they'll have to make another one.
