Lazy woman's guide to decorating a Christmas cake - finished product.
The "tablecloth" is square (length of each side = top plus both sides of cake to be covered.) The central square only has wadding under it. The square design is from DBS.
I used a decorative stitch from my sewing machine to finish off the edges, then I stitched across the corners as shown in the second picture. Finally, I pressed the corners flat to give a neater finish.
The fruit cake has marzipan on but no icing.
