A few weeks of "feeding" will make it even extra special too. I'm pleased you found the link helpful and there's a starburst cake on this site too, which is also lovely. <BR/><BR/>Looking forward to viewing your Christmas cake :)<BR/><BR/>Rosie xRosiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03861602553420699670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2177262814366321752.post-17709686687512017082007-11-26T19:51:00.000+00:002007-11-26T19:51:00.000+00:00Rosie - thank you for the link.

I am sure you'll really have fun making and baking your own. How lovely to have two expert cake bakers in the family :)<BR/><BR/>I have a link here for a very pretty Christmas cake that looks stunning and sophisticated but appears quite simple to do. They have a few other ideas on this site. I hope this helps and of course I'm always happy to assist where I can :)<BR/><BR/>http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/3003/star-sparkle-cake.jsp<BR/><BR/>Hi Mrs B,<BR/>This also will be very exciting time for you too your first Christmas cake bake!

I would love some decorating tips - I am not at all talented in that department and am wanting to do something very simple but that looks lovely. <BR/><BR/>My sister is a professional cake decorater and my mother is also excellent so I need to impress them both at Christmas! All tips gratefully received.<BR/>Thank you,<BR/>AntoniaAbitofafoodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13627160211408538168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2177262814366321752.post-13888590491995406972007-11-22T19:38:00.000+00:002007-11-22T19:38:00.000+00:00Hi maria,I'm not quite sure what the theme of fond...Hi maria,<BR/><BR/>I'm not quite sure what the theme of fondant icing I will be trying to create on my Christmas cake this year ;)<BR/><BR/>Thanks as always for calling by and posting your lovely comments.<BR/><BR/>Rosie xRosiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03861602553420699670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2177262814366321752.post-26694582896725393902007-11-22T19:32:00.000+00:002007-11-22T19:32:00.000+00:00Gorgeous Christmas fruit cake, i can't wait to see...Gorgeous Christmas fruit cake, i can't wait to see it in all its decorated glory ;o)<BR/><BR/>Maria<BR/>xMaria♥https://www.blogger.com/profile/13566431390534503316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2177262814366321752.post-21847335653690646152007-11-22T19:31:00.000+00:002007-11-22T19:31:00.000+00:00Hi Jeena,I think you are quite right about old rec...Hi Jeena,<BR/><BR/>I think you are quite right about old recipes.
