Holiday Cakes

I baked some cakes during this holiday season.. It was fun to experiment with some new techniques I learned reading several blogs.

The chrismtas cake was the traditional plumcake with dried fruits and roasted almonds. The Icing didnot come out as I expected. It was supposed to be more solid with a shine.

New year cake was an Orange sponge with "paraline crisp" insert. the frosting was with Whipped cream and flowers with icing sugar.
