Penguin Christmas Cake

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERAI just love making and decorating Christmas cakes, so as a Christmas pressie this year for our friends Matt and Beckie and their 2 kids I decided to make them a cake again! While we were away with them in the Peak District I was looking at pictures of Christmas cakes on Pinterest and Freddie and Ellie loved all the penguin ones, so I thought that’s what I would do. I found a few designs and picked my favourite bits to design this cake. Click

I started by covering the cake in pale blue sugar paste, then set about making all the models. I used sugar florist paste to make the snowflakes to ensure they were nice and hard. I also used the sugar florists paste to make the penguins and the north pole sign. I used an edible pen for the writing.

I rolled several long thin bits of sugar florist paste to make the trees and waited for them to harden before sticking small bits on for the little branches. Once all the decorations had hardened I stuck them onto the cake. I used a large piece of white sugar paste for the bank of snow at the back and a bit more around the bottom to secure the trees in place. I then added some finishing touches with some royal icing for the snow. Freddie and Ellie loved the cake – hopefully they will enjoy eating it too!
