Countdown to Christmas – December 20th 2013

A big part of Christmas is the cake and this year I will be making one. I saw a lot of inspiration whilst walking around the little lanes of Brighton as there were so many little tea shops and cafes with beautiful cakes on display.



As I am not a fan of Christmas cake I was planning on doing a flavoured sponge cake, I was thinking ginger cake with some spices to make it feel more Christmassy!

I hadn’t given too much thought about the shape or decoration of my cake as for me the main part is the taste; however, my mind has been changed.

I still put a lot of pressure on the taste but I have had my eyes open to the varieties in shape and style of my cake.

I will definitely be doing some shopping tomorrow ready for a busy day baking next week. I have everything I need for the gingerbread cakes and tiffin I mentioned before that I will be giving as little presents but now I will be looking for all sorts of wonderful and sparkly cake decorations.

Do you like Christmas cake? What would you like your cake to look like on Christmas day?
