Show me your Christmas cake!!

[Christmascheese]

Just decorated mine today! I wish I had more skills, it always looks slightly scruffy, but I do enjoy doing it (and eating it!)

Just finished mine

Here's mine!

When do you cut into them? They look too pretty to ruin

I don’t have one this year

I actually made two (two different recipes) but neither look as professional as the ones shown by you lot!

I don't make Christmas cake but my mum surprised me with one today as she knows dh loves hers and he always ends up taking a large slab home. It's a real retro swirly icing trip into my childhood.

I've done 3 this year, one posted to my parents, one dropped of at my in laws and one for us (round)

These are last years mini cakes. I’m doing mine tomorrow afternoon but still don’t know 100% what I am doing yet! It certainly won’t be extravagant

I’ve just marzipaned mine and realised I haven’t bought my green fondant icing for the holly. God knows where I’m going to get that from, missed my last chance today really. Never mind.

Everyone’s cakes look fantastic!

Here’s mine

Baked by me, decorated by my mum who is way better at it than I'd ever be!

This is ours, DD (9) and I have made one every year together since she was 3 and I can't wait to cut a slice!

I love the retro icing, might give that a go next year!

I like it to look like it did when I was a kid

Just done mine. A bit rough and ready, but made with love.

Well since you asked, we’ve gone for style this year

@OppsUpsSide we had exactly the same decorations when I was a child. Same house!

@DonaldTrumpsChopper they’re exactly like the decorations we had, I so excited when I found them online. I love the tiny deers and comparatively monster sized robin!

Just done mine. A bit rough and ready, but made with love.

That’s exactly what the cakes from my childhood looked like as well! Lovely x

Sorry, in my above post I meant to quote @OppsUpsSide!

Ahh thanks OP, glad others like it too!

Our retro cake!

@OppsUpsSide I love it. Looks like the one my mum makes. Same decorations since I was a child. Same red house and deer footprints. You have to have a massive Robin, it’s the rules.

@DobbyTheHouseElk it’s great to know others understand ‘the rules’ too

Francis I love it!

I’m icing mine tomorrow, I’ll post a photo.

I love this thread...they’re all gorgeous! Here’s mine, finished yesterday. Obviously I can’t take credit for ribbon and glass bauble 🙂🎅🏼🍰 but I’m pleased with it though and it’s crammed with Jack Daniels so should be a good one!

That looks dead professional @TwoBigNoisyBoys!
