Christmas Fruit Cake

Everyone must be frantically looking for Christmas gifts for friends and family; but let us stop for a while and consider how we can make this Christmas a meaningful occassion. How we can touch the hearts of many.

The story of good Samaritan in Luke 10:30-37 showed the importance of giving to those who are in desperate need. Jesus told his disciplesto "go and do likewise" after describing how the good Samaritan rescued the poor hurting man.

As a student, I do not have much to offer to the children of Cambodia who are impoverished, uneducated and vulnerable to all sorts of social problems. So I decided to put the skill that God gave me into good use and raise money through selling Christmas fruit cakes into the school building project for Cambodia's children. I will give the entire proceeds from selling these cakes to the school building fund.

If you like fruit cakes, how about helping me raise the money by ordering a few cakes?

Let me know how many you want, and when you want it by. I am selling each ~ 500g cake for $18. Remember that every dollar goes into the fund, because I will bear the cost of making the cake myself. That is my contribution!



Moist, alcohol soaked fruits-and-nuts christmas fruit cake. This fruit cake is filled with walnuts, chunks of dried prunes and apricots, some spices which help to bring out the aromatic smell of the fruit cake and of course, lots of rum or brandy! The above picture is a typical 500g cake.
