Christmas cake after-care
Thread Starter: Martini-woman Started: Fri 23 Nov 2007 Replies: 3
I've baked my first ever Christmas cake and have been feeding it with cointreau - my problem is, how do you know how much to add but ensure that it won't be soggy if you've added too much? Putting it back into the oven - or would this ruin it even more? I wanted to give it some extra flavour since I think the mixture was a bit bland. Could I perhaps cover it with orange zest before the marzipan? Is now the time to be adding marzipan? Finally, do you need to wait after covering with marzipan before doing the icing? Any other advice much appreciated!
