Return of the Fruit Cake

Mum has really gone all out on the fruit cake this CNY. She ran a mini cottage industry slicing and wrapping candy-sized pieces and repacking them into gift boxes for friends and family. I alternated as a wrapper and packer.

Fruit Cake

Mum just left for a much deserved vacation in a winter wonderland but there is still a backlog of material from last week's overdrive baking. In the spirit of the holidays, she made her super potent fruit cake. It's filled with fruits and nuts and the most important ingredient of all - brandy! I am sure I can get a few low-alcohol-tolerant friends drunk on these cracker-sized portions, hehe.
