Gift Idea, Mini Christmas cake Made in a Tin Can

Christmas preparations have got the better of me, where has the time gone? My friend Sue suggested, for one night only, we turn her son's games room, at the bottom of their garden, into a 'Winter Wonderland'. We would invite friends for mulled wine, mince pies, a get together and a chance to buy unique gifts. We planned it, made and baked things and It all went extremely well, quite overwhelming really!

This is a gift idea you might like to try, Alice and I made some small but perfectly formed christmas cakes. We took a traditional cake recipe, Alice made gluten free, and where in the recipe it said 'pour your mixture into a 7" cake tin, cook for 4 hours' we poured ours into ten tin cans and reduced the cooking time to 1 1/2 hours. We decorated them with marzipan and royal icing topped off with my attempt at a simplistic christmas tree.
