ok ive poked this cake so many times in the middle it's bound to fall apart when it's cut
think i'll give it 10 more mins then take it out for good- for everyone who hasnt cooked it yet do factor in extra time in case it takes a bit longer (mine will have been in for 5 hours as with the above poster) and ive still got to let it cool for 30 mins before i can take it out of the tin- i hope it doesnt totally dry out if i leave it on the cooling rack overnight because theres no way i can stay up for another hour and half waiting for it to cool enough for me to put it in a tin!!! starting to think i shouldve made it in the morning!!

I baked the cake a couple of weeks ago, came to ice it yesterday and can't find the flipping instruction leaflet to make up the icing. i was wondering if anyone who still has their leaflet would be so kind as to post the instructions for making up the icing?

Just a quick note that there are loads in new osc*tt, birmingham, not where they should be ( thats empty ) but at an aisle end facing the tills nearer the booze end if I remember right a whole wall of them LOL as of last night.

1 egg white - is all that needs to be added to the icing. If i remember rightly.

It will get very thick, you should be able to form peaks with it,

Royal Icing
Seperate egg, whisk egg white in a bowl until it looks like a cloud. Add 1 tsp of lemon juice and two thirds of the icing sugar and beat. Slowly add the remainder of the icing sugar to reach a stiff consistency.
Spread the royal icing evenly on top of the marzipan using a palette knife or round bladed knife, right to the edges.
Touch the tip of the knife to the icing and pull up to form peaks all over the top, giving a snow effect.
Place the cake on a cake board or flat plate.
Leave to set for at least 24 hours.
On Christmas Day tie a ribbon around the cake and add your choice of decoration.

HTH!!
