THE CHRISTMAS CAKE BOOZE BATH IS ABOUT TO BEGIN!

This year I’m doing things a little differently — **BOOZY CHRISTMAS CAKES WILL BE PRE-ORDER ONLY!**

No extras sitting around waiting for someone to love them. If you want one, **you need to claim your cake!** 😏

Proper rich, fruit-loaded Christmas cake, given plenty of time to mature and regularly fed enough booze to ensure it’s thoroughly festive by December. 🥃🎅

And YES — **GLUTEN-FREE available too!**

So… **who wants one?**

👇 Comment **ME!** or flick me a message to get on the pre-order list.

Because unlike us, getting absolutely soaked for the next four months actually improves a Christmas cake. 😂🥃🎄
