Brett, if you like fruit cake, you'll find a lot of it here - christmas cakes are always fruit cake. Many years ago the females in my family made a beauty - it was supposed to have one portion of brandy but Mum, Nan & Aunty all put some in. It was rich!!

Australian wedding cakes are generaly fruit cake too, with lotsa' very decorative icing usually over a thick layer of almond?? paste. But folks only eat very small slices! And they are often several distinct layers, one of which can be kept for an anniversary or christening.

Decorative = flowers & other things made of the same icing, very fancy, very rich. Somewhere in my old photos I have pictures of prize winning cakes at the Royal (Agricultural Show) - so much work, then someone EATS it!
