Count the calories

This is 60% of the Simnels I made yesterday: one for Su Ling (my chinese teacher), one for Tricia (my agent and favourite octogenarian), one for Elin and Benedicte (my ma and sis), one for Agnes, John, Mary, Catherine, Agnes#2 and Anna (my ma- and sibs-in-law) and finally, one for the rest of us.

I have to put this lovely long ribbon of names down to justify the immense amount of calories that occur when you bake using:

875g butter
1125g self-raising flour
875g sugar
3 nutmegs
lots of cinnamon
2.5kg dried fruit
5 lemons
15 large eggs
and 2.5kg marzipan..

And that's without counting the chocolate eggs on top.

Happy Easter, one and all!
