Christmas tree

Christmas dummy.

Once again, textures from EdibleCreators,  love these.

The tree is made by piping royal icing shells on a styrofoam cone and is "recycled" from last year 

- I´m so lazy!

Christmas cake

 

I brought this christmas cake back from Birmingham to share with my colleages come december, and it has not been easy not to take a bite or two because it smells simply divine! -And i know it tastes great, because i had more than a few tastings at the stand...

 

 

I love the texture on these cakes. I soaked the cake thoroughly with my husband´s brandy, I don´t know if that´s the way to treat it, but i bet it´s pretty tasty :) Can´t wait - I´ll have to try making these cakes myself.

 

The cover is marzipan fondant, not too easy to paint on as the wetness draws out in the marzipan.

 

Chrismas Bauble

Christmas is slowly approaching, thus a good reason for a little recycling - the topper is from last year; worlds-most-expensive-christmas-bauble.

  

I love my new textures from EdibleCreators - nice price too! -The borders are not cut though, but this can be done with a ruler or as here, with the end of a writing-tip.

Next year...

-I´ll definately bake lots of these!

I used my basic cookie recipe, rolled a ball, marked the toenails with a teaspoon, added a few wrinkles with a knife, baked - and dusted with cocoa. It took like five minutes to shape 20 toes - i like :)

They flowed out a little in the oven, but i don´t mind - it makes them look like trolls toes! :)

Happy Halloween!
