Help required...I've cremated my Christmas cake!

[makealist]

The cake is rather burnt on all sides, I've sliced at it with an electric knife to see how bad it is inside so now it is quite mis-shapen!
It also looks very dry.
Does any one have any suggestions as to what I can do with it, is there anything else I can turn it into? (if you know what I mean)It's just that the ingredients have cost so much I can't bring myself just to feed it to the birds.

door stop?

you can re wet your cake by spiking it every week or so with a skwer and add either brandy or orange juice, this really does help to moisturise the cake!!

how mishapen is it though??

mis-shapen doesn' tmatter. although you can try neatening it up again if you want.

poke holes in it and feed it once a week until christmas with brandy. it'll be nice and moist
