Choices choices

I have a list of tasks to complete over the months we're closed.

One of the most pleasant jobs* has been to source a new fruitcake supply since Sue decided to close her baking business.
I thought it would be daunting and difficult but Naomi has made it anything but.

Yesterday was a tasting session.
We had a glorious choice - they all had something different about them, an added ingredient here and there.

What a great way to spend a morning. 

Naomi has come up with a real smasher - a proper, old-fashioned, moist cake absolutely full of dark, soaked fruit. 

There are four fruitcakes in this photo. 

The one with the strange look on her face is me.

*not really a job, let's face it.
