Over the past couple of years, I’ve definitely developed a thing for pale blue Christmas Cakes – perhaps a yearning for crisp snowy Christmasses? I wouldn’t normally like blue food but somehow such a pale hue for a Christmas cake seems lovely.
This was a gift for our friends. Our very own Christmas cake eventually made it to marzipan and icing stage but never quite got decorated. It’s been well and truly hacked into since then – I can confirm the lack of decoration hasn’t ruined the taste!
I used a Size 2 nozzle with royal icing to pipe the trees around the side of the Christmas Cake. There are 3 sizes of stars to make up the Christmas Tree on top made from flower paste. I used edible sparkles (not glitter) on about 1/3rd of the stars to make them pop.

I love hearing about how different countries around the world celebrate Christmas with their own baking traditions. Rice Cakes and Raisins has a great post on Christmas Baking Around the World
