Christmas Eve Cake

From ACD's December Cover. My version is buttercream, royal icing flooding and fondant/gumpaste bells and holly. Pattern in magazine was not right for my cake but I made it sort of modified. So the base is off and the top doesn't quite fit properly. I wanted to practice my piping skills. Top border made in the cake in one piece! Yay!

I think it looks pretty darn perfect to me. I wouldn't even attempt to try this! Just beautiful.

I love these cakes! :) Are there directions somewhere that I haven't seen? I would sure love to give those a read...

The directions are in the magazine this month. It was surprisingly easy! Thanks for the kind comments everyone.

WOW! WOW! 8O ...could u PM me the instructions on how to make this cake, please?

I don't have the magazine any longer. I've passed it on and I think it's several provinces away by now. :( The only thing I did from the instructions was to tape six copies of the pattern (the individual "scroll" on the top), outline in royal, dry, then fill with runnier royal. The sleigh was the same. The bells I molded by hand, and the leaves were a cutter. There was other stuff on the cover cake but I didn't like it. HTH

I meant tape 6 together. Then I laid acetate on top, then outlined & filled.
