"Of all the great things that the English have invented and made part of the credit of the national character, the most perfect, the most characteristic, the only one they have mastered completely in all its details so that it becomes a compendious illustration of their social genius and their manners, is the well-appointed, well-administered, well-filled country house."

I'm sure the cake will be delicious! Especially if it's Delia..I was supposed to make mine this weeked but discovered I was 200g short of raisins! :) Sarah
I imagine that must include an alcoholic ingredient! :0)
Oh my goodness...this is so English...my grandfather was English and every year for Christmas we had one of these. Back then I am sure it did not cost that much!
Hugs and love.....
Loved your title it could have been meant for me ;-)) Wow £45 thats a lot of money but i bet it will taste and look amazing. Delia ;-) x
I've made two using Delia's recipe card in Waitrose. Not sure how your ingredients came to £45??? I used organic ingredients as well but bought my own, not the Delia ready-made packs. Is it those that are so expensive? I worked my ingredients to £15 then yet to buy marzipan and icing, maybe another £5?
It smells yummy though!

Wow, that's alot of money but it sure is a pretty cake. With regards to your previous post, I bring most of my geraniums in and I have about 12! I have nowhere really to put them so they line the windowsills upstairs.
Warm Holiday Wishes
to you and
yours
May your New Year
bring you
Joy and Enchantment
