I have been busy making mini Xmas Cakes for a Cake stall we are having on Friday to raise funds to travel to our yearly conferences. Thanks to all the CC members whose ideas I have used. I thought I had better not put them on the new photos as I didn't want to take it up. What do other members do to raise funds? There are so many things I can make with ideas from here, Cookie Bouquets, Cake Balls now Chocolate Balls but I am running out of time as I think there are such things as housework, cooking for hubby as well as outside interests to do also.

Thanks all. The round ones are made in a golden syrup tin, or any suitable sized tin and the penquin one is a 9" cake cut in half. I usually make a 10" or 12" square cake and cut them into what sizes I want. They are just great for elderly couples or people on their own as special little gifts.
They are all covered in fondant and the decorations are made from sugarpaste. The boot was made made from sugarpaste too using a mould I bought off the net.

This is why I so admire the decorating styles of New Zealand, Australia and England, just perfectly done, understated yet elegant. These are all lovely, don't know that I could choose a favorite. Great work! thumbs_up.gif

Crimsonhair, they are letters that you use to cut out of sugarpaste. I'm not that good of writer.
Katharry, I am in Central Otago.
