The Cake of the Year: - Christmas Cake.
A suitcase of money! $1,000,000?


If a great thing happens, then another great thing happens on top of it, the second thing is known as the icing on the cake. "Wow! The Icing on the Cake!" We all love to eat delicious cake, and sometimes the cake has an extra sweet layer of The Icing on the Cake that is the The Icing on the Cake. Example: "We won the case, and they are going to pay our legal expenses." "That's the The Icing on the Cake"" "I've been accepted by the university, and they've offered me a position on the basketball team!" Answer: "That's wonderful! The Icing on the Cake
Some years ago my sister notified us, that she was coming to see us in Sydney. She had been ill and in hospital and now she was feeling and getting better. That was just The Icing on the Cake She stayed with us for 11 weeks. She had two desires: -
(1) The Icing on the CakeShe wanted to climb the Sydney Harbor Bridge. So Val and Big Sis (but not me.) went into some serious training. Walking, climbing the stairs at the railways stations and more walking. This went on for five weeks. The big day arrived early November and their Journey eventuated. Had to have a breath test first, at 8.00 AM in the morning. The view was Exemplary and definitely worth the Effort as was related by Val and Big Sister, when I picked them up at the end of the journey.
(2) The next item on her agenda was to literally ice the most magnificent cake that she had ever iced. She was gifted at icing cakes. Two of her friends had combined with her to doing best The Icing on the Cake as their swan song. The three of them were looking for the most incredible idea for icing their cake. They belonged to some Cake Icing Club in Auckland. We spent a lot of nights peering at the internet, to get some ideas. There were lots of great ones and the one that won the day was 'The Million Dollars in a Suitcase of Money.' What a great idea. This cake was not going to be made in Sydney but in New Zealand. Obviously the The Icing on the Cake would take place there.
Alas my Sister died within 2 months of arriving back in New Zealand. Her trip to Australia the land of her birth was her Swan Song to Life. I never heard another thing about the Cake or the 'Suitcase of Money.' I did not know her two friends, so I could not find out any information. The The Icing on the Cake was a magnificent idea, even if it was only a dream and probably died with her.

"They who speak to us do not know that our hearts are full with your unspoken words.
Those who crowd our paths do not know that we walk alone with you.
They who love us do not know their love brings you closer to our hearts."


It's The Icing on The Cake

Until I used that phrase the 'Icing on the Cake'
I have never appreciated how many people use it. It is so well known and used.

"To test if your cake is done, lightly press the centre of the cake with your little finger - it will spring back. The cracks, by the way, will close up as the cake cools. Allow the cake to cool in the tin for 30 minutes then remove it to a wire rack to finish cooling.

Once cool, make a few holes in the cake with a skewer and pour over 3-4 tbsp of brandy. Let the brandy soak into the cake.

Your Meat Baking Dish acting as the Christmas Cake Dish

<b>Frank's Famous Farmalade Christmas Cake insitu of the Baking Dish</b>

To get the suitcase replica you will have to use your meat baking dish.
Line with foil to prevent any meat flavours coming through to your cake.

For the side heights line with cardboard cut to the size of your Dish. Cover cardboard with foil.

Cover the top of the Cake whilst cook with several folds of newspaper.

The Lid for the suitcase is a layer of cardboard with icing over it.

Drip Feeding your Farmalade Christmas Cake 

Feed the Monster Frequentlly

Kindness is a Few Spoons of Whiskey or brandy

Several times before Christmas you can 'Feed' your Cake - The Monster will be very greedy and soak up all you can drip feed in. make small holes in the top and base of the cake with a cocktail stick or small skewer, then spoon over a few teaspoons of brandy. If your household is non alcoholic, freshly squeezed orange juice can be substituted for the alcohol in the recipe. Wrap the cake in a double layer of silicone paper, then in double foil, before storing it in an airtight container.

Frequent feeding, this cake will last for 11 months before you need to ice it.
One year we made 14 cakes and ate the last one on Xmas Day. You could call that The Icing on the Cake.
"It tasted so good, we kept getting tested internally."
