The Finished Christmas cake

Cristmas cake

I have finally finished the Christmas cake that I have toiled over in class for the last few months. We had yet another buffet lunch at work last week, so I thought I would bring my cake in, partly because I can’t be bothered making anything else and also it means that I won’t eat the entire thing by myself.

It was a little heartbreaking to eat it after spending all that time on it, but the waft of Whiskey from the cake when it sliced into it reminded me why I wanted to try it. It was really moist and went down very well, but I think the department became 10% less productive after lunch as a result of the alcoholic content (certainly not one to hand round at the AA Christmas party).

    Oh my goodness Sarah - that is truly stunning…. I can’t believe they ate it on you! It’s just gorgeous! Did you make the flowers as well? Wow! I’m speechless!

    Yeah, it’s quite simple once you are shown how, it just takes a while to do but I imagine the more you do the quicker you get. Thanks

    Oh my goodness, that is absolutely gorgeous! Do the ‘paint’ the icing on for the leaves? I am simply blown away! :)

    Yeah it took a while especially as I can never leave things alone and have to keep fiddling with it.
