Hello,

I have a big extended family. Usually I buy presents but I totalled the cost that it would require and nearly fell of the chair. Usually I just buy it over time so it doens't seem so bad. But this year we have bought a new house & we are stretched this year.

I came up with an idea to make individual fruit cakes, ice them, decorate and put it in a box or container as my gift to the extended relo's this year. Has anyone done something like this before?

Does nay have a tried and true recipe for it? How did you present it? Or any ideas? Where could I find a relatively cheap package or box to put it in that is good for food and looks nice?

How much would the ingredients cost? I'm lookign at making 10 mini cakes and did it drive you nuts? Lol
