Your Stollen Cake looks delicious! Though I've passed it at the grocery store many times, I've never tried it. Something tells me that it wouldn't be as good as homemade. I just so happen to have Delia's Christmas cookbook home from the library and there's a recipe...hmmm.

My mouth is watering now - I love Stollen. Keep thinking I ought to try making it, but like Darlene, not sure how well it would work.

Stollen isn't hard to make, but it is a yeast dough and you need oodles of icing sugar to sift over it and drown it in to make it properly! For those who like it, there should be marzipan running along the middle...
The tradition for a long time was for the dough to be taken to the local bakery for baking and what a fest day that was ;)!
And btw, it keeps for ages - they say the best Stollen is at Easter...
Enjoy!

Am a little shocked to see a cup of tea ON a book. Are standards slipping?

Cornflower

Never! All appropriate precautions were taken, and no book was harmed in the making of this post!
