Delicious cake at Christmas time
Christmas is the time of year for baking. For those who make cakes all the year round it is an even more intense time, as the almond meal and mixed spice are brought home, the mixed peel is cut into small pieces and the puddings are mixed and put on to boil.
Well prepared cake makers will have their puddings and cake already mixed, cooked, wrapped and stored. If you are not so well prepared, then you will probably be thinking about making them pretty soon so that they have enough time to mature and let the flavors mingle to produce the mellow taste of well made produce.
Don’t forget to take out the cake a few weeks before Christmas to put on a thick layer of almond paste, let it dry before the crisp, snowy covering of royal icing is carefully layered and smoothed on the top and sides of the cake until finally the Christmas decorations can be placed on the frosting in their final positions.
