I love...Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones.<br />I love cake with coffee ... I think your Christmas cake is very tasty - well, I imagine it :-)))<br />I also bake various cakes for Christmas and Christmas cookies, but one type is always bought and that is the Stollen - Dresdner Stollen - it is available with raisins and as an almond stollen. I love the almond stollen even more, although the tradition is probably the raisin stollen ... it goes back to the year 1474 (Christstollen).<br />Christmas hug from ViolaBarwitzkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12310927658929040191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1067146400874135525.post-23310179066274362582021-12-25T22:26:25.605+13:002021-12-25T22:26:25.605+13:00I wish you Merry Christmas and a lot of joy, healt...I wish you Merry Christmas and a lot of joy, health, greetings from Anna from Warsaw in Poland, wondeful cake and probably too sweet for me, hugs anna Nowe Przygody z drutamihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04144123447667552709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1067146400874135525.post-86079781127749318352021-12-25T15:13:45.110+13:002021-12-25T15:13:45.110+13:00Merry Christmas!Merry Christmas!Far Side of Fiftyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07995757632158408442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1067146400874135525.post-30771454698824949682021-12-25T09:26:17.815+13:002021-12-25T09:26:17.815+13:00I'm always impressed at people who make Christ...I'm always impressed at people who make Christmas cakes.

Happy Christmas to you, and may 2022 bring us all a less bumpy ride. Less than two years past Best By date is minor. During the 2020 Lock down when we all did "The Big Kitchen Clean Out" I found a couple of tins that were from the previous century!! About the best thing that came out of that Lock down, the spring clean caused by desperate boredom! <br />Happy Christmas and best wishes for the New Year.<br />Virginiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06864657381173674455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1067146400874135525.post-37186841605601002542021-12-24T16:19:59.545+13:002021-12-24T16:19:59.545+13:00 Lessing of the season to you, Margaret.
