My first Christmas cake

So, this is my first ever Christmas cake. I am really pleased with how it turned out. I made the fruit cake back in October and let it mature. Then on the 23rd of December I covered the cake with marzipan and today I finished it off by laying on the rolled icing.

Since it is my first Christmas cake, and cake decorating isn't exactly my forte, I kept the decoration simple by adding a few strategically placed blobs and a holly leaf embellishment.

And to top it all off, it tastes really good!
