Can't beat the cake-and-custard combo! I wish people made trifle more often, not just the fruitcake kind. Can’t beat the cake-and-custard combo!

Thank you for sharing! I especially liked that you wished your trifle bowl had belonged to your Grandmother!! I can relate! I also loved that your mom was so excited about it and enjoyed it so much! As a wannabe chef that what I stive for when trying new things and when it happens it makes me feel like I've made the chef status HA HA! Speaking of which, as I mentioned in an earlier post I had made Fanny Farmers Fruitcake for my Grandma and mom and they both loved it! I also sent some to Christmas dinner (it was going to be at our house and was moved to my brothers house 3 hours before everyone was set to arrive because my oldest son and husband both got the stomach flu so I was stuck at home taking care of 3 kids and a sick husband and didn't even get Christmas dinner ... It was so sad!!). My brother's in-laws who are fruit cake lovers said they loved it and it may have been the best fruit cake they have ever had!! So needless to say I was VERY happy with my first attempt at fruit cake and will make it again next year! Thanks for the recipe, had you not posted it I probably wouldn't have tried it but I'm so glad I did. Hope you had a blast sledding!! Your trifle looks awesome and your Christmas sounded wonderful!

Today, in The Edm. Journal there was a feature on cooking with kids in the kitchen. There you were with W! Nice to see the pic! Made your mom's nutballs a couple days ago. They were awesome, however, didn't have much success with the Muskoka Maple Fudge. Inspite of following the explicit instructions, mine turned out to be the equivalent of salt water taffy. My plan is to morph this into some kind of Turtles, covered with chocolate, sometime today. Happy holidays! and keep warm down there in Calgary. Hope your Christmas was great. Today, in The Edm.

Yours looks identical to mine except the green part on our plates was steamed broccoli - which believe it or not is easier to get the kids to eat than peas - maybe that's because of the cheese sauce ; ) The trifle looks wonderful! (this from a fruitcake hater...I try every year - in the name of research of course - and still ick...) Soaked in sherry and topped with custard and whipping cream yum! Have fun with the new sled : ) Love Christmas dinner.
