2 More Sleeps!!

Only 2 more sleeps to go....today I am going to make 2 festive cakes....I wouldn't say they were Christmas cakes...not like this one anyway.
But I suppose as we have them at Christmas???? I make the old favourite "crushed pineapple" fruitcake as my family are not fond of the rich dark traditional cake. This oldie but goody seems to disappear without a crumb left so I see no need to change it.
I hope your preparations are going well in a non stressed out fashion.
Blessings Michelle xxx

    No-one is keen on fruit cake in my house beside my oldest daughter & me so i just don't make them anymore or Christmas puddings. Makes me sad not to make them. Hugs,xx

    Only 2 sleeps, and so much to do! I have never made the pineapple cake but it sounds like a good idea. Happy Christmas, and peaceful preparations, Michelle!

    Doesn't every family have their own version of what the best Christmas cake is? The pineapple one sounds delicious. I have definitely tried to reduce the stress around Christmas this year, and so far it seems to be working. I think my family would rather I was relaxed than stressing over the perfect Christmas. X

    I love a traditional Fruit cake - and pudding - but as we have a small celebration and most don't like them I don't make them...though I still have my grandmothers recipes incase I feel the urge...but so far we have been given 1 cake and 3 puddings - guess we better eat some of it!!
    I do like the pineapple version too
