Margo, the middle flower was made of left-over pieces from the 2011 BOM appliqued blocks! Nice to use them up. I had a bit of purple that had been fused so just cut out little tear-drop shapes.

Don't forget the cake decorations that come out every year - my mum has a small church, a reindeer that is a bit taller than the church and a large fat robin, that is nearly as tall as the church, to scale they are not, but it wouldn't be a christmas cake without them ( also I prefer it when the icing is roughed up into peaks to resemble a snow storm, because then you can sneak breaking the peaks off to eat without anyone noticing Lois you have got the gist of the Christmas cake we have here in Ireland and England. Rich fruit cake with marzipan and white icing. It's just not Christmas without one. I can live without the pudding but not the cake. My current favourite is Nigella Lawson's Chocolate Fruitcake. It has coffee liqueur in it which is just great because that mixed with the cocoa makes it really yum.  )Good to see we are back on track. Embellishments is the topic here, right?  |
