Christmas cakes

Every Christmas my family gets together on Christmas eve and have a big family meal. I make a cake every year for us to have. Over the first couple of years of doing this I made a chocolate fudge cake, but the year just gone I decorate my own cake. These were the chocolate fudge cakes:

This Christmas just gone I decided to do my own cake, I looked around on the Internet to see what I could do and decided to use some ideas and make my own cake. I decided to do penguins on my cake because they seemed the easiest to do.

My brother was doing another cake stall around Christmas to raise money for his world challenge trip, so I was asked to make some Christmas themed cupcakes to sell. These went down fairly well because of the characters I made on them.

I enjoy making cakes around Christmas because being stuck inside in the cold it means having to much time on my hands with nothing to do. Meaning I have time to make cakes and share them with my friends and family.
