Apologies for having neglected this blog for so long - life kind of takes over and my job has been very busy recently and I have also had something else on my mind. Finally, Mr Redding and I can get married. We've been together for nine years but now he is free to make an honest woman of me. The first time I got married was in 1987 which now seems several life times away. It has been lovely organising this wedding, deciding exactly what we want rather than what is expected of us. I have a lot of free time on Sundays so I decided I would make my own cake. It's a fruit cake using Delia Smith's Christmas cake recipe and I have marzipanned the bottom two layers - the top was left naked as my eldest brother doesn't like marzipan. I used roll out fondant to ice it then decorated with sugar balls stuck on with thick glace icing. I'm very happy with the way it has turned out, I feel it's very 'us' and that is how we want this wedding to be. So, I will endeavour to blog more this year but for the next few weeks I will be getting married and honeymooning in Madeira.
