Well, I've never done a Christmas cake before,so being unsure, followed James Martins recipe from BBC Good Food.
The cake itself was pretty simple, I added chocolate and cocoa to make it a bit more interesting. The icing however, not the best... I followed Mary Berrys Royal Icing recipe, but somehow couldn't get it into really stiff peaks. It's dried really well and still looks "snowy" so I'm quite happy with it. My fella doesn't like marzipan so I just stuck the icing to the cake as it was.
The cake is quite boozy, it's had lots of feeding, but it is Christmas after all :-)
