Very nice

OH now wants to make one. Looks like the cake mix is on the list for tomorrow too now lol.

It was sooooo easy, I bought extra marzipan and icing. Just cos I wanted to see if I could do it all.

A 2 year old could make the cake, its that easy. And the decorations werent that hard, just a bit fiddly.

Im looking forward to eating the cake, but i'll cry at the slaughter of all my hard work.

Here it is, its the first time I have ever made a christmas cake,
first time I ever marzipanned one,
and the first time I have ever iced & decorated one,
I usually just stick with simple cupcakes.

Wow, I love it, you must be sooo proud. Do you do commissions

HAHAHA funny you should say that, I made some of the cupcakes the other day, gave some to a friend, see's placed a massive order for xmas eve plus, gingerbread and shortbread lolly pops. I do a lot of baking to pass the time, keep me occupied.

I Dont want to total up how much this cake has cost me, I could have probably bought 2 expensively priced ones. Without all the time & effort its taken me.

But its the satisfaction that I MADE IT, with the kids help & ideas. They decided they wanted a tree, present's and an angel, who I have just noticed is missing her halo in the pictures.

Yay, that's the spirit :rotfl:

I wish it was spirit - whiskey to be precise

Well done Princesswoo, lovely cake - I would be heartbroken to cut into it though

HC and Frequent, I feel like I am on a pub crawl on my own here, where the hell are you? First rounds on me (sending booze telepathically).
