Last year I gave my brothers and their spouses a little box with smallish bottles of sloe gin and bramble brandy plus preserved blackberries.... they all went down very well so I'll probably give them the same again this year but with additional cakes, will also make sure they get some small cakes for kiddies stockings (always a big tradition in our family, kids are allowed into them as soon as they wake up, rather than annoying mum and dad, there's always some sweets and some fruit)
I'll almost certainly make the christmas pud this year, and watching Choccywoccydoodah is giving me some insane christmas cake ideas.... top of the list is a pile of small cakes, bound together with the icing like a pile of exceedingly rich profiteroles.... you basically take off a small cake rather than cutting a slice.....
