It used to be a tradition to save the top tier of the wedding cake (fruit cake, similar to this fruit pudding) to eat at the first child's christening - that could be a year or two but the cake was well preserved by the sugar (not just the added sugar but the sugar in the dried fruit) and any alcohol it may have been soaked in.Janicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08939148769895960306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4189862499700338748.post-63222733866812328472007-12-07T18:25:00.000-05:002007-12-07T18:25:00.000-05:00Oh hell, record what happens and post on youtube s...Oh hell, record what happens and post on youtube so we all can see.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4189862499700338748.post-11470971332807497312007-12-07T18:23:00.000-05:002007-12-07T18:23:00.000-05:00You've stored this "food" in yer attic for a YEAR,...You've stored this "food" in yer attic for a YEAR, and you want to EAT IT???
