I paired it with a bouquet of flowers, something I know my picky father will love. When they got married no one…

In Bangladesh, not many people bake Christmas cakes. But my love for cakes has just given me another good reason to dance around in my kitchen and prepare the ultimate fruit cake infused in orange juice or brandy. My friends come over on Christmas Eve and we eat together and cut the cake with a bang. I love to decorate it with whipped cream…
