It really isn't long now until Christmas and you need to decide what food you are going to celebrate with this year. In the UK and across many other countries a liquor cake is popular that is known as black cake. So for something different this year try a hand baked Jamaican black cake for sale locally instead of a store bought one.
Let's take a look at why you shouldn't buy a dessert from a store for Christmas. Mass-produced they will have a lower fruit content and many won't actually contain any rum at all. So if you really are going to buy from a store, read the label and see what you are paying for. Pre-packed pastries and desserts sold in supermarkets are not a patch on the delicacies that you can find in local Jamaica bakeries.
But you are still left with a decision to make. Now rum is used both in the pudding and the cake served on Christmas day. So, will you choose a pudding with white rum sauce, or a cold fruit baked delicacy that can be iced. After eating your lunch the tradition is to set fire to a pudding with rum and eat it with white rum sauce. This type of dish is perfectly suitable for children too as the alcohol evaporates.
So, on Christmas day food, and lots of it is the general theme. As soon as the gifts are unwrapped, people will start eating and won't stop all day. A traditional lunch with stuffing and turkey followed by rum delight is par for the course. With all the trimmings and rich white sauce, you will be full to the brim after lunch.
So after your lunch has settled it will be time to return to the table again. This time the centrepiece will be a Christmas log, preferably a black Jamaican iced one. You will indulge in cold turkey and stuffing and other baked treats such as sausage rolls. So, when will you possibly have the room to eat the baked delicacy that is in the centre of the table. Many times no one will even touch it on Christmas day.
This is one reason you should choose a rum and fruit dessert. The fruit is rich in fiber and a lot more healthy than other alternatives. The way the dessert is made ensures that it won't go dry or go off. In fact, if you put it in a tin it will last for months. It is not unheard of to keep such a dessert for the entire year, many people saying it tastes better the more time it is allowed to mature.
But really you should pay a little more for your dessert than one from the supermarket shelf. You could try your hand at baking one yourself, or just by one from a bakery, adding he icing at home to ensure that it looks perfect for the day.
So, how to finish off your dessert to make sure it is looking festive in the middle of your table. The preferred method is to use marzipan and royal icing in layers. You can ice the top of the cake and leave the sides, or for a really Christmas scene you can ice in royal white all the way down the sides too. Icing is easy and fun and if you have kids let them help you too.
