I finished ours today - a bit early but we're having a party this weekend and it won't get eaten otherwise. Has anyone else done theirs yet?

I gave 5yr old DD a silver icing pen and some star shaped cookie cutters and let her get on with it.

Great cakes ladies!


No one here likes Christmas cake so I will be doing a chocolate Maltesers cake (looks like a Christmas pud) and for DH a creme pat tart

oooh, lovely. I haven't made a cake but really want to see what you've all done. I could show you the packet of shop-bought mince pies but that's not really in the spirit, is it?

I don't have a cake to share so here are some chicks warming themselves against a mug.

You're welcome.

This is the one my DD did in honour of all the starry nights she has seen since the baby was born.

They're all lovely- are they fruit cakes or regular cakes?

Wow! what a lot of beautiful cakes.

DS will be decorating our cake today. It is a traditional Christmas cake with royal icing. The decorations on the top will be FC and a reindeer wearing shades and riding a jet ski, a Christmas tree and a red post box with a snowy top and a robin on it.

Ours is a fruitcake Wilting - I never thought I liked them as my parents make a really dark heavy one but mines quite light and quite moreish.

Mine is going to be plain white fondant iced. I tried to use the scraps to make a tree from stacked stars. It looked great (by my standards) when first combined, but over the past 2 days has melted and splodged into something I think is best for the bin Xmas Sad
