Why This one

a few words from me

The Simnel cake I made today is a light and almondy fruitcake. should have a layer of marzipan or almond paste baked into the middle, but I decided to make it lighter with only one layer on top.What distinguishes it from other cakes is the decoration – layer of almond paste or marzipan on top and 11 marzipan balls to represent the apostles minus Judas. Edible flowers or Easter elements like toy chicks can be added as a final flourish.
