Recipe's preparation

    Cakes

  1. 1. Preheat oven to 160 degrees.

     

    2. Combine the dried fruit & diced apricots in a plastic bowl and pour apple juice or brandy over.  Leave to soak 15-30mins.

     

    3. Add butter & brown sugar to TMX bowl and cream 20sec/sp5. Scrape down and repeat if necessary. 

     

    4. Add eggs and combine 5sec/sp4.

     

    5. Add flour, spice, fruit mixture & almonds (if using). Combine 10sec/ rev /sp4. Use spatula to help combine if necessary.

     

    6. Spoon mixture into greased mini muffin holes (24-hole tray plus a 12-hole tray).  

     

    7. Bake aprox 18mins @ 160 degrees. 

    2. Decorating

  2. 1. Wash & thoroughly dry TMX bowl.  Add white choc and grate 5sec/sp8.  Melt 2mins/50degrees/sp3 or until melted.  

     

    2. While choc is melting, cut mint leaves jellies into 4 thin slices to represent holly leaves.  Sort thru a packet of mini M&Ms to find the red ones.

     

    3. Once the cakes have cooled, drizzle a teaspoon of melted choc onto the top then quickly add 2 pieces of mint leaf & 2 red M&Ms to represent holly. (Don't be tempted to add choc to more than about 4 at a time, as the choc will cool & set before you can add the lollies).

     

    4. Refridgerate until ready to serve.
