"Made this and it was absolutely gorgeous. I didn't use the polenta, I just went for the Self Raising Flour option. I also used lemon curd that was quite solid so I just blobbed in on and swirled it in. There were squidgy bits of lemon curd through the cake when cooked but I enjoyed that. :D I will definately make it again but may try bottled lemon juice this time because I'm now left with three lemons that have been zested to find something to do with!!LOL"

"I made this recipe this week and it was absolutely delicious!! If you use a block of butter and make sure it is frozen first then grate it with a cheese grater, it grates just like cheese would. I don't normally like Christmas Pudding, but this one was delicious!! Even if I do say so myself!!LOL"

"Made these at Halloween last year and intend to make them again this year. Greenlung's idea of ordinary icing might be a good one as the adults seemed to enjoy the eating of these more than the kids, but they look very impressive!!"

"Made this at christmas. Mmmmm!LOL I did find the frozen cranberries a bit hard so I may just cook them a little before adding them to the mix the next time I try it to see how that turns out. The drivers in my house on Boxing day were a little concerned tho at the amount of booze in it!LOL"

"I didn't read the recipe right when making this and added the juice and zest of the orange to it, which in turn made the marzipan impossible to roll out - a sticky mess on my board!LOL I ended up doing a patchwork job on the cake, which wasn't perfect but once it was iced you couldn't see the marzipan so it wasn't so bad. It did taste nice and like the other comment, I don't usually like marzipan but I did like this one."
