It was a great cake, Victoria, and so full of flavour. The spices were wonderful and I hope to make this again, soon.

What a story very funny. I love a good Caribbean fruit cake. This one looks very yummy. I bake a similar cake which is called Caribbean Black Cake. We usually soak the fruit in rum for at least 3 month to up to a year. Than around Christmas we start to bake and every one in the family gets a little cake. By the way golden rum is a mixture between light and dark rum. It has more flavor (body) than light rum, but less than dark rum. Cheers.

The juxtaposition of Alfie with the dead bird and next the turkey is priceless. And that cake sounds lovely.

Too funny!. I can honestly say I cannot top that story! Your celebratory dinner looks wonderful…especially your beautiful cake with the cloud of fluffy icing! Irresistible.

PS…the hubby is very picky. He did not grow up eating any ethnic foods (including Italian!). I’m lucky I’ve gotten him to eat a few new foods over the years…still working on curries!

I took a note that I will not ask you to lend me scissors! Oh my, what a story!!! Your caption, “This is not the lorikeet.” made me laugh so hard… that picture was at the right place! You wrote such a great piece today, what a fun post. I think I enjoy it even more because it’s your story involving very familiar people. I think I became like a part of your family to hear your family story and it’s been so much fun. Only wish I have is if you could share your beautiful cake and food with us as well… 🙂

What a fabulous dinner you concocted for your mother – lucky her. The cake looks so light I thought it was a pavlova at first. And as for the dramas – well, they are part of your family life it seems!

What a pretty bird…what a tragic ending to it’s poor little life. Poor Alfie, he was just trying to help…. Hehe. Put ’em through the dishwasher on the hottest cycle you have, you’ll be good to go! 😉
