Oooooh!!!  Munchkin was let loose in the kitchen to make a Christmas Cake!  If you follow the Blog, you will know that there have been many baking disasters in the past…especially around the Festive Season when she has good intentions in baking but they never turn out!  This “Christmas Stollen” was fortunately rescued and morphed into a Monster Christmas Chaos Cake!

Trying to work yeasted dough for baking in a 35C (95F) kitchen is bound to end in disaster.  The sticky dough expands within seconds, doubles in bulk within minutes and if you don’t get it into the oven quick smart…it is bound to explode all over the place.  Not a pretty sight to see a red-faced, hot Munchkin anxiously trying to mix dough quickly before it all splatters on the walls!  Arrrgh!!!

Anyway, the Stollen was rescued and become a gorgeous Christmas Cake decorated with dried sapodilla from the farm:

Enjoyed  indulgently with vanilla glaze drizzle.  Mmmmm…what a save!!

Also something festive for the Duckie Bag!!
