A lesson in icing

Just finished icing the Christmas cake!


You are probably thinking that this is not a normal skill for a guy, but I just love Christmas cake! I also like it the way I like it; no nuts, full of brandy, and lots of marzipan. Of course my specific likes have meant that the only way I get it the way I want it, is to make it myself! And so I have had to learn how to make it and get it right. I sincerely believe that one can learn and conquer anything. At least, this is the message I want my children to get!

Making a cake is also not too far a stretch...

Once the icing was on, the boys and I attempted to decorate the top with the leftovers. Needless to say, we have a lot of training to do, if we ever hope to get that part right!!
