The Holly and the Ivy

Christmas arrived a bit sooner than I wanted it to this year, what with all the kitchen kerfuffle, but we were more or less ready in the end.

Some things got done a bit at the last minute, but they did get done, and we ate, drank and made merry (well sat in front of the tv and fell asleep - which is probably the traditional equivalent these days!).

Icing the cake was one of those last minute tasks - the theme this year was the Holly and the Ivy (having got myself some new ivy leaf cutters!), reflecting on the distinctly 'green' winter we are enjoying this year.


As you can see the red icing requirement was rather limited, and I ended up freezing almost an entire block - I guess that settles next year's colour scheme!
