Nothing too bizarre, but the top tier was a classic blonde Irish
fruitcake (your basic Christmas cake, essentially a pound cake with
whisky-soaked fruit, peel and almonds) covered with a layer of almond
paste and then with Royal Icing. The rest was the more standard (in this
part of the world) genoise, one orange layer and one coffee layer, I
believe. But it was fun to harass the fuitcakeophobes in the crowd.
