Enjoying some Christmas baking

Having all of the ingredients available this year, I decided to make a traditional Christmas cake (fruitcake). Yes it is solid, yes it has hard royal icing, yes it is moist, and yes my family likes it.


We also had a go at some coconut cookies with maraschino cherries. I didn't want to use Crisco and used coconut oil instead, but they had much too much of a coconut taste. They look festive and the children were happy to eat them anyway.
