Tiny Fruit Cakes & Classic Rich Christmas Cake

I made the tiny fruit cakes over a month ago, and last night, after the pear disaster, I decided to ice them, along with our proper Christmas cake - see next post. You will not be seeing a picture of the Classic Rich Christmas Cake, not because I forgot to take a photo of it, but because I have decided not to make it. This is partly a time thing, but also because the ingredients are almost identical to the tiny fruit cakes. I think I can guarantee that Mary's classic rich Christmas cake would be delicious. Perhaps I will make it next year! I know this seems a bit like cheating, but as I make up the rules....!
Anyway, back to the tiny fruit cakes. They were made in small baked bean tins, and were great fun to make. I was really pleased with them. There were 3 in total, but for the sake of the challenge, one of them has been tested by Ad and I! The flavour was delicious, but it was a little bit dry - maybe because they are small. I have two cakes to give away as presents (they are nice, honestly!), and I have decided that the recipients will be my two official blog followers - I know there are more than two people reading my blog, but Elaine and Wendy are my only official ones, so guess what guys, a mini fruit cake is coming your way. Thanks for sticking with me!
