Time 30m

Yield Cuts into 12 slices

Number Of Ingredients 7

20cm fruitcake , see 'Goes well with'
5 tbsp apricot jam (optional)
750g golden marzipan
750g white ready-to-roll icing
three 5-pointed star cutters - small, medium and large
30g pack small gold balls
approx 65cm length of wide ribbon

Steps:

  • Lift the cake onto the cake board or a plate and cover with jam, marzipan and - brushing with water around the sides of the cake only - ready-to-roll icing. Trim at the base.
  • Press star cutters gently into the icing, stopping when you get to the marzipan. Pull the star shapes out with the cutter, or ease it out with the tip of a knife. Stamp out a couple of small stars from re-rolled trimmings of icing (from icing the cake) and sit them inside the large star-shaped spaces.
  • Sprinkle the gold balls into the gaps and tie the ribbon around the cake. Can be decorated up to a week ahead.
