Look on an old map from e.g. 13-15th centuries. Guernsey's fortune was built on Cider!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-430441346293872555.post-40760581752771620262009-02-24T23:15:00.000+00:002009-02-24T23:15:00.000+00:00I see the french influence.

Yes...Hi Elizabeth<BR/><BR/>Glad to hear they were a success. Yes, I think the type of cider used could greatly influence the final taste - perhaps that's why the recipe specifies dry cider. I think the recipe would still work with reduced sugar if using a sweeter cider.<BR/><BR/>You have definitely earned your "I have made fairy cakes" badge! A proud day.<BR/><BR/>The Caked CrusaderThe Caked Crusaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02840224194242219981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-430441346293872555.post-91519673106152118632009-02-19T14:26:00.000+00:002009-02-19T14:26:00.000+00:00Great selection, Caked Crusader - I recently opene...Great selection, Caked Crusader - I recently opened a bottle of cider, and I love anything apple. I made the cupcake version so that I could say that I made Fairy Cakes.<BR/><BR/>I got 18 cupcakes and they needed 24 minutes in my oven. They are very tasty and very tender, but a little sweet for my taste, which may be due to my cider. I was going to use a cider/powdered sugar/cinnamon glaze on them but decided to leave them naked.<BR/><BR/>I would judge my first CC recipe a success!Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13055296719510606951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-430441346293872555.post-52522326536753686172009-02-18T22:38:00.000+00:002009-02-18T22:38:00.000+00:00Great looking cake!Great looking cake!Jerri at Simply Sweet Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15424115166869530008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-430441346293872555.post-30050457301999386862009-02-18T02:59:00.000+00:002009-02-18T02:59:00.000+00:00I've never seen cider in a cake before.
