I had four to ice this year so confess I went with the snow storm effect    all done in about an hour    yesterday. Still got a yule log to make but that will have to be next weekend.

What do you mean by the snow storm effect?  Mine tended to look like drifting snow, but now I've discovered ready to roll icing it looks more like a bed that needs straightening.  Tastes good though.

Does anybody actually eat the icing? It's only sugar, after all...  Just horribly sweet. I thought the icing is just put on so it keeps fresh for longer.

Me!  Me!  Me!   I love the whole thing, the cake+marzipan+icing.     Trouble is, because almost everyone else likes either just cake, or no marzipan, or no icing, I often end up with corner pieces - and that's too much icing for the tiny sliver of cake that's inside it, even for me!

Pair of dentures for your Christmas then Sally    but I agree, you have to draw the line at corner pieces unless you're under 10 and your teeth are going to be renewed anyway.
