Christmas cake decorating ideas


The Penguin Cake

If you plan to have a chocolate truffle cake this yuletide then explain exactly what you want to the cake baker and designer. The best way is to have a base with the penguin on top. Pure white sugar icing on the base helps create the perfect snow ambience. The penguin creates the mood for the right winter dinner dessert.

Chequered cake with Sleigh Bells 

If you plan to have a simple fruitcake then you can add a dramatic twist to it with pure white snow icing. Use blue icing to mark clear checks on the white cake top. Get sugar sleigh bells and arrange them in a corner. Add silver sugar stars and edible silver glitter. Use thick red icing to shape little ribbon like bows and mark the edges.

The Gift Wrapped Box Cake


Cut a simple plum cake such that it looks like a square box. Use deep red icing to cover the entire cake. Bake a slightly larger square and place it atop the red box just as though it were the cover. Cover the entire top with white icing and use red icing to make giant polka dots. Use a real satin ribbon to gift wrap the cake once the icing is completely dry. The idea is to make it look like a real gift box.

All I want for Christmas is some Prada

All I want for Christmas is some Prada.
Not an imitation, just some Prada.
I told mum that nothing else would do.
There's loads of designs, so she can have some too.
I don't care which ever gifts she gets me.
Handbags, Shoes, clothes, they're all the same.
I can't wait for Christmas day to come
'Cause all I want for Christmas is some Prada.

Christmas is Coming

Christmas is coming,
The geese are getting fat,
Please put a penny
In the old man's hat.
If you haven't got a penny,
A ha'penny will do,
If you haven't got a ha'penny,
Then God bless you.
