to show off my Christmas cake! It took me aaaaaaaaaaages :o) Anyone else want to post a pic of theirs?

[Greensleeves]

Can we have a Christmas cake show-off thread? Apologies if there already is one!

Plenty of piping here, and possibly slightly retro — it was my DGms pattern! We also have a good collection of deer and trees.

I'm another one who prefers royal icing to fondant/sugar paste. Bendydick, I love your collared one!

Oh the lighting is a bit rubbish. I've gone up to bed now so it will have to do!

Mine.....

I'm American and curious, is this a British tradition? Love all the cakes by the way.

Bendy I bought all the plastic stuff for the top of mine from ebay this year. There’s loads on there. I think I searched Christmas Cake toppers and looked through some of the shops that came up. It was a fun morning in a very strange shopping hole.

Bloody oven fan blew my baking parchment lid off

Wow! They're all so beautiful! I made my signature tiramisu this year, I couldn't possibly be able to bake cakes like yours!

Merry Christmas everyone!❄️🎄❤️

My DC decorated mine! Extra proud of myself this year as managed to make it whilst going through chemo. Hope it tastes ok!

All of yours look amazing. What a lovely thread!!

Happy Christmas lovely and clever ladies

This is a close-up of mine with seasonal snowstorm filter . Father Christmas has misplaced his reindeer and has had to ask a couple of bemused sheep for help with last-minute deliveries.

Yes Zfactor. Do you not have Christmas cake in the US?

Love the gingerbread Millennium Falcon BTW.

Well done all of you. They are all fantastic.

Can’t wait to have a taste!

Went old skool! The chap at the cake shop said everyone seems to want to go traditional this year

Forgot mines a cranberry and fig vodka cake. A mumsnetter gave me the recipe last year. Don't eat and drive !

So many lovely cakes, what a talented bunch we are.

I'm envious of all the bakers on here! Mine is from Aldi! With a few extra decorations!

Made it together as a family, decorated at 11pm when everyone was in bed and I could concentrate

What lovely cakes everyone has made!!

I have never ever made nor will I ever make a Christmas cake but these are fabulous!

My favourite is thenewaveragebear - that is bloody brilliant!

Here’s ours. DD decorated it. She’s 23 and is creative!

No, LoniceraJaponica, we don't. I feel like we're missing out. You guys get Christmas crackers and amazing cakes, we get movie marathons 😪

I didn't have time or energy to make one this year due to various things going on. I miss it.
I am enjoying seeing all of yours though.

Devils Food Cake inside, Malteasers and fondant. would have used white chocolate but I didn’t have enough as I’ve sneakily been munching it since the start of December
