    What a lovely tradition - you are definitely making it feel a lot like Christmas on CT.com.

    What an amazing cake, it must be so much fun making it together. Do you decide on the theme beforehand? Just looked at your blog and am very impressed with the work and detail that has gone into it.

    Thanks! Most years we just come up with the theme on the day. I use the same house template pretty much every year (last year was an exception because it was the 20th anniversary of the tradition). I'm always amazed at how creative everyone can be with licorice and Smarties! :)

    It was interesting to see Kirsty Alsop making one in her Christmas programme but she didn't have Tom Daley!

    Hmmm....I think the biggest thing is to cook the pieces well and let them cool thoroughly before you take them off the baking sheet and start working with them.


    I laughed at the advent candle story - that is EXACTLY the sort of conversation I'd have with my mom! And I would have lit it when she wasn't looking as well!
