The lazy woman's guide to decorating a Christmas cake. (A work in progress!) The top is quilted and it is being modeled by the tin I made the cake in. (The actual cake is wrapped up to mature.) I'm not sure yet what to do with the sides. I think I'll edge it with Christmas ribbon and leave it like a little tablecloth. Or, I could stitch seams down the corners........ Or I could just ice the cake.

I think I understand and axiously await your resolution. I say do whatever so that the piece can be used well.

Love the cake cover, you could use cover to indent the design on sugar icing or perhaps on almond paste and then use a indented design to pipe the design on cake,. For my daughters birthday last summer I used fsl's to decorate their birthday cake. G

toooo good..!!

Just fantastic, Shirley

Just tie a ribbon around but it all depends on who is going to eat the cake and whether they like marzipan and icing!!! Or just tie the ribbon around the tin and fool everyone!!!!

Sue, what a good idea I think I will make one for myself then \i can have the cake on display, thank you, regards Carol

It's a lovely cake topper. Sounds like a fruit cake wrapped in cheese cloth soaked in bourbon. lol

I like the idea of a simple stitch down each corner. The embroidery is so beautiful! You are so creative, Sue!

nice

Lovely design I would just put red ribbon round it lucky people who get some cake

This is such a lovely design. I would try to keep plain simple as possible on sides so as not to distract from the design. I am sure you will finish it to look good enough to eat.

Lovely! I hope you add a picture of it finished. I would love to see what you decide.

Beautiful design Sue. Whatever you decide will be perfect.
Hugs Jerri

I would put elastic around it and pull the threads to look like lace ??Love it ,my cakes in the freezer lol
