It's more complicated than that. At least in the frindley household, you have to take it down off the top of the pantry cupboard every three months or so and dowse it in brandy. Then wrap it back up in the heavy brown-paper wrapping and return it to the top of the cupboard. Then after about 12 to 18 months of that you have the most wonderful, wonderful creation, ready to be covered in a thin layer of marzipan, followed by two layers of delicately tinted fondant icing, and finally decorated with elegant swirling curlicues of royal icing in a slightly paler shade. Modelled fondant flowers are optional. Personally, I think my best cake of all was the one surmounted by a fondant muddleheaded wombat, made for my sister's birthday.
I can do that.
"The longer you keep it, the better it gets." Ahhh. So that's the trick. You never actually eat it, THEN it's delicious!
