Christmas Cake, Part II

It's taken a bit longer than I thought to make (as in I started making it last night at 19:00 and it's now 07:55) but it's finally finished.

God knows how I'm going to get it in to work tomorrow - it weighs a ton.



There's also something not 'quite right' with it. It might just be a bit wonky. I might see if there are any cake decoration night classes going on - my icing needs a bit of work, I think.

Anyway, there you go. Same again in another 12 months...

Update
It melteded...

Christmas Cake, Part I

Not content with moving house this weekend and only being half-packed so far, I've chosen Thursday as the day to take a Christmas cake in to work.

Here's the blueprints. I think Jayce suggested this last year so props to him for the idea:



I'm going to use the same home-made cake stand I used last year so it'll stand about 20 inches high in 4 tiers when done. I'll try to make the arms with florists wire covered in icing.

More info to follow shortly...
