Just nearing the end of my 2nd Crimbo cake within 10 days, so after extensive tasty testing I can now catergorically and highly recommend Morrisons iced and marzipaned fruit cake with cherries in it, 6" in diameter, weighs about 3 tons, is extremely moist and exceedingly tasty.
Yours for a mere £2.99 too! eeek:
Cost you more than that to make it yerself I'd have thought like?

But it's not Christmas

But it's not Christmas
Nearly is. I'll try one. cloud9:
-
But it's not Christmas
D'ya know, I really don't give a stuff.
Putting it in simple terms, I just luv crimbo cake....and chocolate too. cloud9:
The great thing is also, is that it's not advertised as being Crimbo cake, just an iced and marzipaned fruit cake, so I don't feel the slightest bit guilty....just fat and wobbly.
Funnily enough Mrs GROWLER commented exactly the same,which is fine by me as she therefore doesn't get offerd any, as it's "Too early for Crimbo cake"...my arse, chomp scoff chomp burp.
-
I'll also add that it comes complete with a sprig of plastic holly on the top.
These I'm now collecting, and by Crimbo itself, I should have enough of them to decorate the house!
Another top tip saving suggestion from the vaults of GROWLERS 'ed! angel1

Most threads don't stay on topic for that long. spider: At least we are discussing Christmas lights now, albeit microwaved ones.

Nick's attetion span seems to have gotten even shorter during your abscence. noooo:

Plus, of course, a desire to give as much space as possible to his micro-wave video clip.
But getting back to Crimbo Cake ~ why not? If you like the stuff ..... which I have to say I do not.
-
We eat it at Easter too but without the icing.
-
Wot!
No Simnel Cake?
-
We eat it at Easter too but without the icing.
Ey? confused:
You buy an iced marzipaned fruit cake with cherries and a sprig of holly (Crimbo cake) at Easter from Morrisons, then take the icing off before scoffing it? What about the marzipan?
Do you think this thread is annoying Nick....hopefully?
Lets talk CAKE CAKE CAKE! Lurrrrve it! cloud9: It makes me happy.
-
Cakes are good ~ but Nick sees only railway opportunities in them.
-
Have you seen the array of CAKES that Morrisons do on their 'in house baked' section? eeek:
You could actually die if you looked at them for too long.
I take young GROWLER with me on a Friday evening, and he always has to drag me away from the fresh cakes counter, claiming I'm like a little kid in a sweet shop staring and cooing at the days special offers in CAKE.
Niice werd CAKE init?

Youngest is allergic to eggs and nuts so shop bought cakes are a big no-no in this house.
We make all our own so that he can also have some ~ and egg free cakes are not quite the same but..........

I'm makin' a CAKE next month to take with me to the Lake District when I have a weekend away with the boys on a rally.
Made a chocolate one 2 years ago, but it disintegrated when I took it out of the oven. sad32:
We had to eat it with a spoon out of fruit bowls, ::)
Still tasted nice though.
Triple decker chocy CAKE this time, with marzipan and icing in the middle for a change.
GROWLER CAKE!

Crimbo cakes can be delayed by the wrong kind of snow.

Rail overcrowding 'to get worse'

I don't much like Christmas Cake (I think it's the peel) but when pressed to do the seasonal thing I do eat it with a slice of Stilton and a very sharp apple. BTW My Yorkshire born first wife thought that a "Disgusting habit"

"delicious" is perhaps a matter of personal taste.
"delicious" is not how I would describe it. Pukester comes more to mind frankly.

Try the Lemon Drizzle CAKE next time you're in Morrinsons Snoops. It really is very tasty, but there again I have got a horrendous passion for sweet things.
