Christmas cake tutorial | Home for Christmas | How to decorate a fruit cake

Here it is guys..my 100th video! 'Home for Christmas'. So excited to share it with you. Our Christmas cake for 2019.

I've put out a template on Pinterest (link below) for the shape I used to carve the cake. And since this one being a fruit cake this time it wasn't easy at all when it came to the carving. I would suggest chilling the cake for at least half an hour.

You will notice the change of colour of the brick wall background in the video. I wasn't entirely happy with the brown as it didn't sort of go along with the porch. So I decided to change it later on.

The pillars, I bought them from a local cake decorating store. They're the same ones used on wedding cakes etc. But it would still look lovely without them.

I've used glue and Royal icing to attach things as I went along.

The trees could be also made from RKT but I wanted to get this cake done sooner so I just used left over green fondant that I had and piped dark green leaves from Royal icing.

I misplaced my wilton 352 leaf nozzle (perfect timing) so I cut a 'V' in a piping bag and it worked out fine. The smaller leaf nozzle I've used is PME no.50

I have posted another video to show how I made the lanterns and the red bows. The link is below.

I used a Glaze spray for a shinier effect but its really optional.

The blue dust was to shade in the snow but it was hardly visible on the camera.
