Here I am getting ready to deal with the marzipan! Mwah ha haaaa!
After I had rolled out the marzipan, using my special mathematical rolling pin that guarantees a 2mm thickness (apparently), I needed some glue to stick it to the cake. So I boiled up some apricot jam and spread it over the cake. This will make sure the marzipan sticks.
I put the marzipan on and cut round the edges of the cake to make it look neat.
Now for the icing!
I decided this year to take up my counsin Bekah's suggestion and let's just say, have a Christmas cake with a twist. A goalkeeping twist! Look's like Santa's finally ready for some exercise! Good save Keeper!
Here is the final result. Hope you like it! (Because if you don't - I've got my rolling pin!!!)
Excellent decoration there Master A! This cooking business is rubbing off on Master Ben who has been baking biscuits all afternoon - I fear my tummy will soon be expanding.
ReplyDeleteYay, You did my idea! Very well decorated too. I'm hopefully coming down after christmas so maybe I could have a slice if there's still some going by that time?
ReplyDeleteI posted a blog yesterday but you haven't had it - don't know what went wrong.
ReplyDeleteJust to say that it is a very imaginative design.
I think you have achieved an A*. Absolutely brilliant!
