Hello, it's Lydia here. It's only 1 more sleep until Christmas! Today's post is about a Christmas cake decorating competition, it is a family based competition. My mums side of the family always have small competitions, like making an item of food which must include a specific food. Every Christmas we have a competition on who can decorate a cake the best. The contestants are me, my mum, my 2 aunties and my cousin. Last year it was just decorate the cake to represent Christmas. This year it was a little bit harder, we had to decorate the cakes based on a Christmas song, we basically had to make things to go on the cake that represented our chosen song. Here are the pictures of all the cakes;
'Good King Wenceslas' this cake is by one of my aunties.
'Carol of the Bells' this cake is by my cousin.
'Fairy Tale of New York - The Pogues featuring Kirsty MacColl' this cake is by my mum.
'The Twelve Days of Christmas' this cake is by my other auntie.
'Mistletoe and Wine - Cliff Richard' this cake is by me.
For my cake I iced the cake that my grandma made (she makes them for us every year) I them made the Christmas tree out of icing and decorated it with more icing, I made ether gifts and put them on the tree as in the song it says 'gifts on the tree' and also made a fire with logs out of icing as in the song it also says 'logs on the fire' I have interpreted the lyrics into my decorations. I then searched on the Internet of a picture of Cliff Richard himself, I originally wanted a picture of him in the music video but they were all too blurry, then I found this one (That's on the cake). As the song is titled Mistletoe and Wine, it was perfect, I then just had to add the mistletoe part into it which I made from icing which is around Cliff Richard. I then took a picture and sent it off to my uncle who has emailed it to several countries and also put it on Facebook so we get even more votes of who's is the best one. At the moment I am coming last, but there is still today to vote so it could all change.
Hope you enjoyed this blog post and thank you for reading, if you want to decorate a Christmas cake in the future maybe now you have ideas of what to put on it. Thank you again for reading.
