desperanceExcellent. Thank you all for the suggestions and advices. My marmalade turns out to be almost entirely lumpy bits, and very reluctant to liquefy; but I mixed what I could extract with a little of the ginger syrup (ginger marmalade! om-nom-nom...), and the result is not at all displeasing and seems to be doing the job. Tho' it has to be said that the cake was pretty sticky anyway, largely I suspect on account of the quantities of brandy applied since baking...
Anyway. The cake is marzipan'd, and no one will ever see the patchy mess I made of it, on account of the terrible mess I will make of the royal icing in a day or two. If I had remembered earlier that I had this still to do, I might have had cake on my birthday. As it is, not. But no matter. I shall have yummies enough, and not need cake.
