Erm, you didn't leave the marzipan to dry out and (having made it) the jam isn't meant to have seeds in it.

But well done?

If you're using sugarpaste, you need to cover the marzipan when it's damp, as otherwise it doesn't stick. It's tedious having to paint it with vodka or gin to dampen it.

This all looks great Mrs E. Well done!

So what's next???

I wish:p Got over 25 years before that:rotfl:
I do 10 days work over 9 days, so I get 1 extra day off a fortnight, I try & put it to good use. Plus I'm a bit of an early bird, up at 5.30 most days - took DH years to turn me into an early bird:rotfl:
We are like the Germans on holiday, he's out putting the towels out at 6 most mornings:o
