As requested, here is a photograph of the fruit cake which lies beneath the coating of icing and marzipan.
The cake cuts cleanly without crumbling and is a recipe I have been using for a few years now.
The recipe for the fruit cake was in a leaflet inside a video tape called The Fun of Cake Decorating by Elaine MacGregor.
Elaine ran the Woodnutt's School of Cake Decorating in Hove, Sussex many years ago, but unfortunately, I can't find any information about her or the school.
