Twelfth-Cake
"A cake made for a Twelfth Night celebration that contains a bean or a coin for determining the ruler of the feast."
(Merriam-Webster Dictionary)
We shall be using a token to determine the "Ghost of Christmas Present," at whose feast this cake makes its appearance in the book.
Our twelfth-cake will be a bit of hybrid. Tastes have changed with the passage of time, means of distribution, preservation and refinement technology, that we no longer generally find ingredients like treacle or candied orange peel to be sweet treats. So our adaptation of the twelfth-cake will be a blond confection.
The cost is a donation (suggested to be about $12.00 per person.
Please let me know if you would be willing to sponsor somebody who cannot afford to come.).
The evening will be filled with period music, an opportunity to share in the dance of Fezziwig's day, the Sir Roger De Coverley, Fred's parlor games, good conversation and great fun.
