In case you were wondering what exactly goes into a three tier wedding cake - it looks a little something like this!

That includes: 5.5lb currants, 2lb sultanas, 2lb raisians, 1lb almonds, 1.5 lb glace cherries, 1lb mixed peel, 3lb flour, 3lb buttter, 3lb sugar, 24 eggs, 1/3 pint of rum (it's in old skool quantaties because the recipe is from the 1948 edition of Good Housekeeping's Cookery Book).
