Wish upon a star

A few weeks ago, well before the main event, I wrote about Stir up Sunday for Christmas puddings and cakes. I used a new recipe this year, published in the Waitrose magazine. Well, my wish was actually for the cake to turn out well and be moist, tasty and attractive. If I do say so myself, the cake has been a great success. I chose to make it starry rather than their suggestion of decorating with a wreath of fondant balls but otherwise followed the recipe to a tee. 

If you want to plan ahead for next year you may find a copy of the November Waitrose magazine or google Waitrose fig, sherry and almond Christmas cake.
