During this busy time of the year I thought I would just post some of my favorite Christmas Cakes and Victorian Cards ...Cakes that you can have a go at making and Victorian Cards that can enhance your scrap books or gift wrapping ...hope you enjoy them
On trend this Christmas of course are the Minions ...a sure hit with the Children as well as the adults
This would be precious printed out and used as a gift tag on one of your gift wrappings
Simple, Pretty and elegant
Precious
If you can't model a gorgeous deer like this just use an ornament ...the leaves are cut out of colored fondant icing ...so cute
These poinsettia's have been hand piped but they could be made out of fondant icing colored red ..
Lots to make ahead of time on this cake ...the snowflakes can be piped on to parchment paper and left to dry with Royal Icing ...till it's hardened ..make more than you need as some are bound to break ..and the snowman is just simply modeled out of fondant icing as is the cake cover in it and then the snow is icing (confectioner's) sugar sifted very finely ....
 |  What a Happy Chappy ...just a round cake ...iced then the face made out of either icing or fondant icing ...it's a matter of which you prefer and wether you are confident in icing the face on a sure winner with every one |
Several layers of cake then covered in a Chocolate Ganaché and pine cones made out of sliced almonds ..very elegant and beautiful ..sprigs of rosemary add more charm
The Ultimate ...The Nativity ...the Reason for the Season ..each character carefully and lovingly moulded out of fondant icing ..can be made weeks and weeks before the big day along with the cake ...then just put them all together on the day before
Hope this has given you some inspiration
Happy Getting ready for Christmas time
Kindest regards
Janet
