Steps:
- Combine currants, raisins, sultana raisins, and candied cherries in a plastic container with a lid. Pour brandy over dried fruit; stir in orange and lemon zest. Close container and set aside to soak for 2 to 3 days. Stir or shake container every few hours as you remember.
- Preheat oven to 275 degrees F (135 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with 24 cupcake cases or lightly grease 24 ramekins.
- Combine 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons butter and 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons brown sugar in a bowl and beat with an electric mixer until well combined. Add eggs and molasses and beat well. Stir in all-purpose flour, self-rising flour, almonds, and mixed spice until well combined. Fold in almonds and soaked fruit; mix well. Spoon mixture into the prepared cases or ramekins.
- Bake in the preheated oven on the center rack until a toothpick inserted in the middle of a cake comes out clean, about 90 minutes. Allow to cool in their cases.
- Store in airtight tins or wrap them tightly in greaseproof paper and aluminum foil for at least 10 days before decorating.
- Heat jam in the microwave for 10 seconds until warmed and brush onto each cake.
- Roll out marzipan between 2 sheets of plastic wrap. Cut out circles with a round cookie cutter or a glass with the same diameter as the cakes. Arrange marzipan circles on top of the jam on each mini fruitcake. Store fruitcakes in an airtight container before finishing the final decoration, 8 hours to overnight.
- Roll out white fondant between 2 sheets of plastic wrap and cut out circles with the same diameter as the cakes. Press a cookie stencil with a snowflake pattern onto the fondant circles. Color in the snowflake pattern with blue food coloring using a small brush and place on top of the marzipan layer. Repeat with remaining cakes.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Butter eight 150ml ramekins and line the bottoms with circles of non-stick baking paper. Divide the cake mix between the ramekins, transfer to a baking sheet and slide into the oven. Bake for 30 mins until springy and dark golden brown. Leave until cool enough to handle, then run a round-edged knife around the edge of the each cake. Turn out and cool completely on a rack.
- If the cakes have risen into peaks, make flat by slicing the tops off with a serrated knife. Melt the jam with 1 tbsp water and brush over the top of the cakes. Lightly knead the marzipan and shape eight golf ball-sized balls. (You will have some left over - wrap up well for another time.) Using a rolling pin, gently roll the balls into flat circles, approx 1cm thick and the same diameter as the cakes. Sit the marzipan on the jammy side of the cakes. Do the same with the icing, brushing the marzipan with a little cooled, boiled water to help it stick.
- Beat the egg white until just frothy and broken up. Spread the caster sugar over a plate. Dip the cranberries and rosemary in the egg white, shake off the excess and roll in the caster sugar to create a frosty effect. Leave to dry for 15 mins. Tip away all but 2 tsp of the egg white and mix with the icing sugar to create a thick paste. Use to fix two cranberries and a sprig of rosemary to the top of each cake. Decorate with gold ribbon. The cakes will keep in an airtight container for up to a week.

MINI CHRISTMAS CAKES
At Christmas time we love to serve our visitors these tiny Christmas cakes, baked in muffin tins. They're easy to make, dark, moist and full of flavour. Start this recipe at least one day ahead as the fruit needs to soak overnight. Preparation time does not include this step.

Steps:
- Place mixed fruit into a very large basin.
- Add rum and mix well.
- Cover with plastic wrap and allow to stand overnight.
- The next day, preheat oven to 150°C (300°F) and arrange oven racks to accommodate muffin tins in the centre section of the oven.
- Place 2 muffin cases into each hole of 2 or 3, 12 hole muffin tins.
- One ingredient at a time, add the beaten eggs, grated apple, treacle and sugar to the fruit mixture, mixing well with a wooden spoon after each addition.
- Add cooled, melted butter and sifted flours and mix thoroughly.
- If you're making these instead of a Christmas cake, make sure to let every member of the family have a stir of the mixture while they make a Christmas wish.
- Spoon the mixture into the muffin cases, filling to almost full.
- Use the back of a spoon to smooth the top of each cake.
- Press a glace cherry into the centre of each cake and, around each cherry, press in 5 almonds to make petals- pointy end closest to the cherry.
- Bake, in batches if necessary, at 150°C (300°F) for about 40-45 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the centre of a cake comes out clean.
- When cooked, remove muffin tins from the oven, remove cakes in their papers from muffin tins and cool on racks.
- When cakes are completely cool, store in airtight tins and keep in a cool place or, if you're in a warm climate, store in the refrigerator.
- Alternatively, wrap each cake, still in its paper, tightly in plastic wrap, pack into plastic freezer bags and freeze.
- Cakes will keep for at least a month if stored correctly or longer if frozen.

- Snow Angel Cupcakes. Cupcakes are inherently cute, but they become even more adorable when they’re made in miniature. Presented as if they’ve just been dusted with snow, these elegant and whimsical cupcakes (created by Carrie Sellman for The Cake Blog) are sure to disappear in seconds.
- Mini Chocolate Thumbprint Cookies. These thumbprint cookies (from Pinch of Yum) are a classic holiday treat, and they’re fun to make with kids of all ages.
- Gingerbread Oreo No Bake Mini Cheesecakes. Gingerbread flavor shines in three ways in these creamy, airy cheesecakes (from My Baking Addiction): in the Gingerbread Oreo crust, in the gingerbread pudding cream cheese filling, and in the miniature gingerbread man sitting on top.
- Mini Cranberry Apple Crisps. Take a break from the cookie tray and serve these comforting, individually-portioned crisps (from Jelly Toast), filled with tender, spiced apples and tangy fresh cranberries.
- Mini Paleo Christmas Puddings. Traditionally served at the end of holiday dinners in England, Christmas puddings are known for being tedious and time-consuming, as they usually steam for hours.
- Mini Cinnamon Wreaths. These edible wreaths (from Box of Spice) prove good things definitely come in small packages. Not only is there cinnamon sugar swirled inside, but each wreath is topped with brown sugar and walnuts.
- Mini Gingerbread Houses. Instead of baking a full-sized gingerbread house, create these mini versions (from Juliette Laura) that sit atop your mug. They’re perfect for setting out with after-dinner coffee, or for serving with steaming mugs of peppermint hot cocoa.
- Sparkly Vanilla Bean Macarons. Forget store-bought macarons. These vanilla bean beauties (from Kevin & Amanda) are filled with a trio of frostings (think white chocolate peppermint and eggnog marshmallow), then brushed with simple syrup and dusted with edible glitter.
- Mint Chocolate Mini Cakes. Reminiscent of a Thin Mint cookie, these decadent beauties (from The Kitchen McCabe) will please any chocoholic. Each mini cake is draped with homemade chocolate-mint ganache, then finished with whipped cream and a flurry of chocolate shavings.
- Cranberry Swirl Mini Cheesecakes. With their graham cracker crust and rich creamy filling, you’ll be going back for seconds of these bite-sized cheesecakes (from My Baking Addiction).
