A Marks and Spencers plain round fruit cake which Little made a banner to go round, I put marzipan and icing on and then we topped with Christmas candles, again from M&S. I'm just not a fruit cake maker, or eater truth be told... but the banner has been folded carefully and will be taken home and treasured by my stepdad (this was one his Christmas presents) and made me realise ever more that it's the small things which matter and not the extravagant.
Hope everyone has had a very happy Christmas.

I hope your Christmas was nice and warm and enjoyed by all!
(Love the wrap around)
That is the most beautiful fruit cake! There is something about a child's way with drawing that is so delightful! The candles are the perfect finishing touch.
Hope you had the merriest of Christmases, too Amanda!
I love the drawings on the banner! And the candles are so cute!
Between this and your lovely pics on facebook I can tell you had a holly jolly Christmas!! What a splendid cake!! I love the banner that you children did for it and those candles are wonderful! How very beautiful!!
It's the little things that really make the difference, Amanda - in our case, a small truffle. Just kidding (although the truffle was really good). Hoping you and the family had a great Christmas and here's to a very happy New Year.
I love the cake banner.
I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas.

Hello Amanda! Greetings from Foodista! Just dropped by to wish you a Happy and Healthy 2009 for you and your family :) Cheers!
Well said! I love the little banner the most!! Happiest holidays to you and I hope the new year brings only wonderful things your way!
That banner is beautiful. My cake gets divided into huge chunks among the family otherwise it would last forever! Hope you had a wonderful Christmas and a very happy 2009 to come.
The banner . . . yes that's a wow of a keeper. Hooray for little.
Merry Christmas (late as I am) and very Happy New Year Amanda and all of yours.
