  • About the Healthelicious Fruit Cake

    Funny story about how I came to be a fruit cake maker.

    When one of my daughters was about to be married we said to the groom to be, “We’re doing all this organising for my daughter, is there anything special you’d like?”

    The groom replied, “You know what I’d really like?”

    “What?” I asked.

    “An old fashioned fruit cake, with marzipan icing.” he replied.

    “It shall be done!” I said.

    So Julie went looking for a wedding cake shop. Finally found one, ordered a cake, bought a rice custard and left. When she opened the rice custard to eat it there was a layer of mould on the top!

    Needless to say, Julie returned the rice custard and cancelled the wedding cake order.

    She came home and said to me, “It’s less than a week to the wedding, what are we going to do?”

    I said, “I’ll make it then.”

    Well, after I picker her off the floor, (’cos I wasn’t the cook at home) I sent her off to get me a cake tin and a recipe.

    So Julie brought home a large cake tin and a photocopied recipe from the Womens Weeky Celebrations cookbook.

    Well. I over cooked it by 100 degrees for an hour longer than I should have. It turned out as black as the ace of spades and as hard as bell metal!

    No time left to cook another. We needed to decorate it and you know you cannot ice a hot cake.

    I turned it on it’s side, took the bread knife and sawed of the top. (It didn’t quite need the circular saw!)

    Iced, it went over a treat and was a great hit.

    After that I started making fruit cakes for my family and software clients for Christmas.

    And I’ve had more than one person tell me it’s the best fruit cake they’ve ever tasted!
