Like the evaporated milk variation, that's brilliant!

Brien I've got the staff mixing one up as I type this. Bet it will not taste as good as the one you brought with you to Hilton.

Thanks for that, as soon as we finish the Christmas cake I'll be testing this one out. I bet the fruit sinks in mine

Hi Jane, It was good to meet you at Hilton. There's plenty fruit in the cake and nowhere for it to go. I'm sure your's will turn out perfect.
