These were a LOT of work, but very worth the effort! I got rave reviews from my dinner guests, and it was very convenient that they can be assembled early in the day and then the cooking is very simple right before you eat. One tip--do not overboil the green onion tops, this makes it very hard to tie them into knots. And I found 7 inch pieces were not quite long enough.

This has been a hit every time I make it. I skip the orange juice and use half the lemon juice and add 4 cups of cranberry raspberry cocktail instead. I use a little less of everything to fit it in my large crockpot and I just pour the sugar/spice syrup in there and then add all the other juices and a little water to make it less potent. Then I float some cinnamon sticks and orange and lemon slices in it to make it look festive!

This was really good cake--darker and spicier than I expected, but very moist and quite addictive. I skipped the icing but I think it would taste even better with a citrus-y frosting on it.
