Dear Marion. I really love watching you making beautiful decorations with simple things. For me it is a way of getting acquainted with all these nice English customs, thank you and looking forward to tomorrow ❤
A beautiful Christmas cake, now I have seen that part of the process s well, so I had better start baking😛. Everything you share is a delight, Thank you, Marion🎄🧑🏻🎄💗🌺❤️🥰
Lovely and simple but so effective. Lovely memories of making Christmas cakes with Mum when I was little. She used to let me put the old Santa. trees snowman and sleigh on top of the cake. My efforts of late have been topped with nuts and cherries and then glazed. Nothing better than making memories.😊❤️
So beautiful and so delicious looking! When I lived in Nova Scotia, I had an "aunt" who made fruit cake every year. So yummy! But back home in Maine, the Christmas cake has never been part of our traditions. In fact, most people don't even like it. I'm so happy to see you are keeping up with an old favorite.
@marionsworld24 Yes, It's starting to feel like that, Marion, lol. I'll get there. One more coat of paint in the morning, then I can get my shelf back up and bring my photos and plants back down. Then Tree at last,🎄 hehe if I say it fast it doesn't seem so much to do 😅 then on to my wrapping 🤗 at least there's a few days left and I have finished most of my shopping, food and prezzies. Maybe I will have time to make a few gifts yet 🧵🪡🧶🤞 🎅🤶 🥰
What a lovely natural way to decorate your cake, love it thanks Marion, oh and ment to say yesterday congratulations on your viewing figures and subscribers xxx
Oooo it’s lovely and that cake would cost a fortune if you could buy one in the shops! Port and Ameretto is a new one on me and another wonder from Marions World I’ll have to try ❤❤❤
It is a beautiful way to decorate the cake. I see many really amazing cakes on the internet, but with a lot of fondant and colors. But I don't like to eat that. The traditional fruitcake with lots of alcohol is something English. I made some cakes like that, but without the alcohol. You cannot keep it for months, but it doesn't matter. It taste good.
Yes it's definitely a British tradition. I make a lighter cake than the old fashioned way, but it's still lovely 😊 I've made those types of fondant cakes before but I always preferred the royal icing myself.
Oh my goodness what a gorgeous thing! I love Christmas cake, but have never tried to make one. Is your recipe a family secret or will you share? You inspire me daily to try something and not worry if I know if it will turn out, but just give it a go. That is a great gift. Thank you, Marion.
Lovely looking decorated cake Marion. I'm looking forward to the one our daughter has made. She made the almond icing last weekend to a different recipe to mine (I've always used my homemade marmalade - sieved - to brush on the cake too) then will royal icing after she comes home on Friday. I've got the traditional ornaments ready to go on as that's what she likes.
We don’t have a Christmas cake now, as only my husband eats it , so I normally just buy him a little slab from M&S. your decoration was so pretty tho, a mini winter wonderland! X
Beautiful cake Marion. Your decorations on it just made it so pretty I would hate to cut into it. My family always made Lane cakes and I refuse to eat one now. As a kid, we always would want chocolates or my grandmother’s coconut cake. But I will never eat lane cake again lol. It was made with grape juice (which I love), two kinds of raisins (which I hate) , coconut, walnuts, etc. Your cake is almost too pretty to cut into 🥰
Beautiful decoration Marion, and I bet it tastes pretty good too! What kind of cake that is? You said it has been stored for a month? Is it some sort of Panettone? ❤❤ Thanks for another great video!
It's a variation of a rich fruit cake. It has dried fruit in. Apricots, raisins, ginger cranberries, currants... all sorts really... They get soaked in alcohol and orange juice, so the cake is moist and delicious!
That’s gorgeous Marion. Last year I tried a different Christmas cake recipe instead of the one I’ve been making for over 40 years, and it was too sweet. I also fully iced it and made lots of sugar leaves and berries which was laborious-and it was a waste of time as we don’t really like icing! So this year, I will be using the bay leaves and rosemary from the garden like you. Is there any chance of sharing your cake recipe?
Your cake looks lovely and I can imagine how good it smelt. Hope you enjoy it, I'm sure you will, do you have cheese with yours? I love Christmas cake and a slice of Wensleydale 😋
Marion, I am so loving your channel. I just discovered it a few weeks ago and I am watching everyone of your videos trying to catch up. I would love to get your Christmas cake recipe. I loved the way you decorated it, but how did you make the cake. I want to add it to our Christmas traditions here in the U.S.

Beautiful cake decoration
Lovely and simple but so effective. Lovely memories of making Christmas cakes with Mum when I was little. She used to let me put the old Santa. trees snowman and sleigh on top of the cake. My efforts of late have been topped with nuts and cherries and then glazed. Nothing better than making memories.😊❤️
I remember just the same sort of thing... The little Santa in a chimney, a little fir tree and a sleigh 😊
Gosh Marion you are such a wonder talented lady. I love watching what ever you do……I have learnt so much from you. Brilliant teacher.

I think it's quite popular here. Especially if you bake yourself. They're always the best ones!
Lovely

Traditional is so comforting... I like that too..
Naomi comes home on Wednesday teatime 😊💕
Your cake is exquisite. I have never used amoretto to “feed” a Christmas😊😊 cake, but think it would give it a wonderful flavour. Thanks for the tip.
It's yummy!
We don’t have a Christmas cake now, as only my husband eats it , so I normally just buy him a little slab from M&S. your decoration was so pretty tho, a mini winter wonderland! X
😊
Such a gorgeous idea for decorating. I just love the ribbon added as well. :) See you tomorrow!
It's too long to write out... I'll see what I can do...😊
that's very fair. :) no worries Marion you are very busy. :)@@marionsworld24

Well that is just lovely!!! What a great idea. Where can I get the recipe for your cake? Red grapes on the top might be nice as well.
Red grapes would look beautiful frosted. The next time I make it I'll think about posting the recipe...

Is there any chance of sharing your cake recipe?
I probably will when I make it again. It's a recipe that was given to me years and years ago 😊
Lovely, natural decoration. I hope you will have family with you for Christmas. Is this the first without your husband?
Second. Both my children will be home and my sister will stay over as well.
Your cake looks lovely and I can imagine how good it smelt. Hope you enjoy it, I'm sure you will, do you have cheese with yours? I love Christmas cake and a slice of Wensleydale 😋
A good bit of Wensleydale and also some Cotherstone too. Do you know that one Helen?
@@marionsworld24 I've not tried that one I'll have to look out for it
