Last Christmas I decided that I would make my own Christmas cake and make them as gifts for family members too. I've never made a Christmas cake before, and I certainly have never decorated a cake other than pouring on some icing or melted chocolate with some butter cream filling. So a little risky to say the least.
However, I found a new talent, and something I greatly enjoyed doing, and since then Ive taken off with making cakes and decorating them using various different techniques.
I started doing this just for family and friends and have since had a few orders for cakes too, so who knows where this may lead. I would love to make this a business, but that's just a pipe dream at the moment, but never say never.
I wont add lots of pictures at once, I will just add the first one I made for now, and gradually show you others.
Not bad for a first attempt hey?
Traditional Christmas cake, covered in marzipan then royal icing.
I made this for my parents for Christmas.
Ok so one more for you to see.
I think I had improved greatly by the time I did this one, everything and I mean everything on this cake is edible.
I very much enjoyed doing these, just as much as I enjoy making every other cake I have done since.
I will show you more soon of the other cakes, and I am sure you will agree that they are way better as they go along, Not that I am singing my own trumpet lol.
