I have my Christmas cake in one of those cake holders. One of those plastic types with a see through lid that clips on.
I've been feeding it for a few weeks and did the marzipan earlier. I put it in the holder and to make room I put it on top of my cooker (not switched on I add). I made dinner and after a while I could smell something funny. My DH was sat on the pc next to the kitchen door but he couldn't smell anything. I went in the kitchen and I must've knocked the switch on the cooker and the bottom of the holder had melted. I grabbed the cake and fortunately it was unharmed but the plastic plate was melted and stuck to the glass hob.
It took me a good half hour to let it cool and managed to clean it all off.
I would've been devastated if my cake had come to any harm after all the hard work I'd put into it not including all the brandy I'd used.
What are your Christmas disasters I'd love to know?
