Surprise Christmas Cake

Christmas cake Gift

'Tis the season of giving and I'll happy to be at the receiving end. So, here's a sweet gift I received from a baking student.

Today out of the blue, my old student Nirmala knocked on my door with a rich plum cake.

I was super thrilled to get such a gift and more surprised to know that she had baked this cake by following my Christmas Cake Recipe in this blog. After tasting the cake I suggested her few changes like, reducing the size of fruit pieces.

.Thanks Nirmala for the cake and cheers to her spirit of giving.

Christmas Cake Gifts

Rich Plum Cake 

Here's the picture of rich plum cake in the gift warp. I gave these little packets of joy as my Xmas gift. It was not much, but it was all I could do this Xmas.

Usually I buy Xmas from Nilgiris ( Bangalore) or buy from St Michels (Trivandrum). But this Christmas, I decided to make Xmas cake in my oven. This decision saved a good deal of money and gave me the pleasure of gifting home made cakes. This year cake packets were small. Next year, (2011 if all goes well, I'll increase the size of my gift (cake).

If you know baking you can follow suit or learn Xmas cake baking. Gift your friends and relatives Xmas cake for next Xmas. Hand made gift makes your gift personal, joyful and meaningful.
