Christmas + Cake + Choirboys


Hello there. I must first apologise for my severe lack of blogging. I have just completed my first term at university and unfortunately, I did not have so much time for baking. BUT... I am now back home for Christmas and hope to make up for lost time! My food experiences have been limited as I have been living in catered halls. However, as you will see in the next two blogs, I managed to find some ways around it!

Just before the end of term, I went to a Christmas cake decorating workshop set up by the university. There were 10 of us in all - I think 10 more than they expected - so a good turn out all in all. 

You'll have to bear in mind...I did NOT make the cake, nor did I ice it...so perhaps this isn't worthy to go on the blog - but this is all the material I have! I did, however, make some rather cute (or perhaps creepy) little fondant icing choirboys.

I really enjoyed making them and it has certainly put me in good spirits for the holidays! It was also nice to see other peoples' creations - however unusual they may have been! Take a look. . .




And now for some alternative designs. I think these were a bit more creative. . .






And so that was Christmas cake decorating! I'll be posting another blog very soon - so look out for it! And let's just say that it involves a microwave and a mug.
