Great Cakes

I looked forward to my mother’s great cake at Christmas. Coming up, we enjoyed small pieces from family and friends but they always seemed to have been too laced with alcohol for to much consumption. Our mother was in England studying but when she returned she knew how to make a cake that pleased us. Nowadays, she hardly uses alcohol, if any at all and we enjoy it as much. Because of my illness, I can only take a very small amount and that is like torture.

Great Cakes

Got so many names it’s no wonder it’s great

Recipes differ in the variety I ate

Everyone has a favorite and mine is from mommy

And she even remove alcohol from her recipe

They call rum cake, black cake, fruit cake and more

Can’t remember what we call ours before

Along time ago mom set her fruit very early

Kept them curing in a cupboard till they were ready

Eventually we all look forward to whatever they bake

Seasons Greetings friends and enjoy your …cake!
