BOUNTIFUL BAKING

Yule is a season of abundance, and the Christmas cake signifies this. If you aren’t keen on the traditional fruit recipe, find a substitute. Making a cake is something all household members can be involved in, so just throw in nuts or sultanas with a positive affirmation. Or you can decorate a bought cake with your own symbols for happiness and so on. Cover your cake with cling film and leave it on show in the kitchen, until Yuletide arrives and it’s time to share out slices.
