I just spoke to my sister,and she has still got one and a half Christmas cakes left ;-)
Very large cakes too.....one was a gift from my parents,and the other from her husband's parents......
What can you do with leftover Christmas Cake.....apart from give it away (but who wants it in January?)
She could use slices for French Toast -- dip in egg/milk mixture, fry and have for breakfast.
If it's moist and dense enough to hold together, cut into small squares (or squeeze into round balls) and coat in chocolate for truffles.
Our freezer has 1 loaf of banana bread and 2 dozen cookies, all frozen day-of-baking before Christmas. Also have some cinnamon-spiced nuts - great on spinach salads -- and 1 last quart-sized bag of white-chocolate coated pretzel/cereal/dried cranberry snack mix.
Jamie Oliver suggests making a trifle out of leftover Christmas cake.
Here's a recipe for an ice cream cake. It begins "Steal your husband's [liquor]" and "crumble bits of cake into a bowl, slosh in some booze and toss with fingers."

Hmm..the marzipan in the middle is the best ! Its a heavier more dense bread unlike panetone,lots more fruit and usually covered in a thick layer of icing sugar. Over here on Planet USA I buy it at Aldi.ADVERTISEMENT
