Finally, my completed Christmas cake - Wednesday 25th December

I covered the Christmas cake that I made a few months ago with ready rolled marzipan and icing just for quickness, and then stamped onto the top of the cake a design of Christmas roses, holly leaves, berries large and small which I then painted with coloured dust. I had watched an online demo by Marion Frost of Patchwork cutters in October using this technique and it gave me the inspiration for decorating my cake. I also covered a slightly larger cake board with icing and stamped a border of holly leaves and berries which I again painted for the cake to stand on. Overall I am happy with the finished result and the cake is good too.
