I can't get marzipan here so I will have to try to make my own I think. Its such a great cake! Jeanie's idea is a really smart one I agree! xoxo PS - I bet these would be good if you cut down on the cherries a bit and added some sultanas and candied peel in their place! Kind of like a fruitcake scone!Marie Raynerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00407913432222377267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7100882347408067241.post-16510718752431777722021-08-05T20:14:58.254+01:002021-08-05T20:14:58.254+01:00They would be wonderful for a Christmas Tea Jeanie...They would be wonderful for a Christmas Tea Jeanie, especially with red and green cherries! xoxoMarie Raynerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00407913432222377267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7100882347408067241.post-33938009036643078632021-08-05T18:32:26.423+01:002021-08-05T18:32:26.423+01:00It sounds like it is going to be a fun tea Elaine....It sounds like it is going to be a fun tea Elaine. Can I make a suggestion, that you make my classic scones instead as they are a lot more luxurious and very typically British? Here is the link: https://www.theenglishkitchen.co/2018/10/classic-english-scones-complete-tutorial.html <br /><br />Not that these are not good, they are excellent, I just think the others are more befitting a tea party! In any case it sounds like fun and how wonderful that you are finally going to be able to get together!

We can actually get glace cherries here (small miracle) and I often make your Midnight Feast worthy Cherry Cake. <br /><br />I love Jeanie's idea to have the red and green ones and make it into a Christmas treat - really smart!

Weather permitting, we will sit outside under the apple tree to enjoy our tea. This tea had originally been scheduled for Christmas in front of the fireplace but due to Covid we couldn't get together.
