Battenberg

Joy to the world....... it worked!! A Yule-tide Battenberg. Reminds me of Bagpuss - saggy, baggy and a bit loose at the seams - but Fiona loves it :-)

Am keeping up a family very-new tradition of Battenberg Variations. Here's one Mum did earlier this year, in celebration of the Queen's Jubilee:

Which kept so well, it went down a storm at my brother and nephew's birthday doo in October:

Have no intention of this festive version lasting nearly as long. Am off now to a very excitable friend's Christmas doo. And hopefully a demised cake in a few hours time. xx
