Advent 2016 - two

I have spent many hours this week decorating Christmas cakes for a market on Saturday but my favourites are these mini ones which I have been making for the past few years.


Different toppers this year using my new poinsettia modelling skills. I'm hoping they will sell out otherwise guess what everyone is getting for Christmas!


You can find the recipe here should you want to make your own... except I no longer dust with icing sugar when I roll out fondant. Oh no, cornflour is so much easier and much less sticky.

  2. Mini cakes are perfect for those who don't want to be eating Christmas cake until Easter! They all look so beautiful.

  3. Just looked at your link for the recipe and can not find oven temperature for cooking. I just love reading about all your exploits and I am left in admiration of all your work.
