Iced Christmas cake topped with blue snowflakes, pink hearts, purple flowers, yellow stars and tiny gingerbread figures

Here’s a close-up of the big cake. The 4yo cut out most of those shapes and was very proud of the design choices :)

Square Christmas cake, topped with glazed almonds, cashews and glacé cherries

And this one was my first attempt at a glazed nut topping…. Recipient doesn’t like marzipan and icing

Square iced Christmas cake with Christmas tree design

This one was decorated by the 12yo, with no help whatsoever (sadly no boards of the right size in the local shop)

Three iced Christmas cakes in pastel colours

This year’s Christmas cakes are complete! The 4yo chose colours and design for the big round cake, and the ‘heart’ cake
