I used a classic BBC Christmas Cake recipe to create these - my first ever Christmas cakes, but also my first ever bulk challenge. Jameson whiskey was used within the batter, and then each cake was fed 2-3 tablespoons of Hennessey every week. After three to four weeks, the cakes were removed from their containers, spread with apricot jam, marzipan and icing. All of the toppings were encouraged to be eaten - with 300 spiced biscuits baked to contribute, candy canes for decoration and sweetness, and dehydrated orange to use in mulled wine. The cakes were finally dusted with cinnamon powder.
One cake was donated to Saint Vincent DePaul charity for raffle - which raised €92!
