I spent a bit of time today catching up on cake recipes from the Festive Season for Belize Wild Recipes. I simply had to write about them because this year, for the first time ever, they actually worked out. This is a typical baking disaster…this one was Christmas Spice Cake:
This year, we were made “Apple” Pie from jujube (Chinese wild plum):

The wild chinese plum has a very tart flavour similar to crab apples. These plums are about 1inch (2.5cm) in size.

And Gnome made the pastry with the pasta machine:

Oh, and look at these…


I have also posted up a “Black Cake” recipe which was very kindly given to me by Barbara Nightingale. I haven’t tried the recipe yet…it will have to wait until next Christmas!! And sorry no picture because we polished it all off before we could get a photo!
