I’m not a big fan of icing, so last Christmas I decided to decorate my Christmas cakes with marzipan and dried fruit. It ended up being lots of fun and one of my friends liked them so much, she asked me to make one for her dad’s birthday.

very pretty!
Thanks! Glad you like them :).
This is a great idea. My girlfriend would love this. She’d probably like a lot of things on your blog.
Thanks for your comment! I’m glad I’ve got a way to decorate fruit cakes so they look pretty without being too Christmas-y. More reason to eat them all year round…
Love LOVE this. Any pointers on baking with marzipan for the first time? It tastes amazing, I’ve just never baked with it!
In this case, the marzipan is only being used for decoration after baking (though it can be used in actual baking sometimes.)
Next time I make a cake like this I will photograph the decoration stage by stage and post a piece about it.
wow. that is so unique. looks yum.
