We Bake Cake Christmas Cake Part 3

Wow its been a long time since I last posted!  I blame the excesses of Christmas.  Why is it even when you're off work and technically not doing very much you still can't find time to do the stuff you need to do?! Anyway thought I better post the final pictures of my fully decorated Christmas cake.  I decided to wrap it up like a present with holly motif wrapping paper and a big red bow.  What do you think?

Needless to say it doesn't look like this anymore!

The more this cake gets decorated means the closer we're getting to Christmas which makes me very excited indeed!!

Yes I said the 'C' word.................CHRISTMAS!  There's only 45 days left until the big day and aside from all the present buying, card writing, food shopping and house decorating there's also the very important matter of the cake!

Christmas cake has always been a big deal in our house.  Ever since I was little I've always helped my Mum bake the cake, feed it with alcohol and then decorate with snow scene royal icing and the same Christmas cake decorations (usually a plastic christmas tree and father christmas) that every year we'd lose and spend hours trying to find.  The Christmas cake to me will always hold fond memories and is a very important part of the Christmas celebrations and even though I'm the only person in my house that actually likes fruit cake I still make one every year.
