Mary Berry is the queen of baking, and stole the nation's hearts on The Great British Bake Off as one of the original judges.

She was on TV this week with A Mary Berry Christmas, teaching us all about the delights of pigs in blankets cassoulet.

Mary kept things sweet with a cherry and lemon millefeuille and a pear and ginger steamed pudding, but it's her Christmas cake that's got everybody Googling.

Viewers saw Mary joined by Alison Steadman, Harry Aikines-Aryeetey and Zoe Ball as she went picking a Christmas tree, so hopefully you're feeling nice and festive.

It turns out that it takes a LONG time to make Christmas cake, with people starting weeks in advance.

Whether you've left it too late, or just frankly can't be bothered, you can order a cake online that's a dead-ringer for Mary's.

Yes, it's from M&S too (via Amazon) so you know it'll be good - and you can order it now in time for Christmas Day.

They describe it as featuring 'smooth icing' and called it 'a true masterpiece'.

"Meticulously handmade in the UK, it's the perfect centrepiece for your festive celebrations," they added.

People have been raving about Mary's recipe online.

"Christmas cake is done. Thank you Mary Berry recipe!" wrote one.

"Nobody does Christmas like Mary," added another.

"Mary Berry's Christmas Cake is infallible, keeps a long time and is delicious" promised one fan.

A Mary Berry Christmas

Viewers have been raving about the festive special, which was shown on BBC One.

"Christmas TV doesn’t get more comforting than A Mary Berry Christmas."

"Warm food, real joy, zero stress — exactly what the season needs"

"Oh my. What a lovely Christmas show! Well worth your watch. You will love it!"

One of my favourite instructions for the Christmas cake recipe of Mary's is to 'feed' it Brandy over the course of three months.

According to her recipe on BBC Food: "Wrap the completely cold cake in a double layer of greaseproof paper and again in foil and store in a cool place for up to three months, feeding at intervals with more brandy."

She celebrated her 90th birthday and more than 60 years of cooking, and jokes that she has been cooking this Christmas cake recipe for more years than Paul Hollywood has been alive.

That's when you know it's good!

However, no judgement if you want to buy one instead.

If you decide to hide the box and pass it off as your own, then your secret is safe with us!
