Mark Doyle

This submission comes to us from Oklahoma, where my friend Mark is home for the holidays. I sent Mark and his lovely bride Kate the challenge of jeweled fruitcake miniatures, well...because I thought they were up to it!

Doubting the photogenic nature of his tiny treats Mark writes, "My recipe wasn't too photogenic, but I've done what I could to Seventies-ize it (this mixer is one that my mom has had since before I was born)."

I can vouch for his circa-1970s kitchenware artfully arranged in the background--looks like Betty Crocker's own test kitchen. I hope these were tasty [but I have my doubts]. They look pretty, though!
