This is how Christmas cake is supposed to taste…

Every slice is mouth-wateringly moist, moreish, and fruity. Juicy cherries, sultanas, citrus, apricots, dates, infused with rum and boiled with sugar and mixed spices until they are plump, succulent, and bursting with the flavour before being baked to perfection.

  • Decorated by hand

    With melt in your mouth marzipan and white fondant icing, finished with a decorative ribbon.
