For photographer Liz Brown and her mum, Jane Spencer, the taste of Christmas cake symbolizes their bond, reflecting a family tradition of baking passed through generations.
The day we bake the cake is like a watershed day for us, says Jane, highlighting how the smell and act of baking bring warmth and markers of seasonal change.
Jane and Liz have adapted the stir-up Sunday tradition, baking their cake over the autumn half-term to ensure their whole family can participate in a ritual steeped in history.
With each generation comes another evolution of the cake recipe, as Jane shares her journey of adapting family traditions while maintaining the essence of their cherished memories.
