2013 Christmas Cake

 

This year, following tradition of complete anti-tradition, I have iced my Christmas cake as a tribute to the doomed last voyage of Sir Ernest Shackleton's ship the Endurance.

It was crushed by ice and sunk during the imperial trans-antarctic expedition.

Christmas Cake 2012 - Snow castle

I wanted to do a WW1 diorama of them playing football in the trenches, but I didn't think that would be grandparent friendly.
So I built a castle entirely from sugar and peopled it with marshmallow snowmen.
as you do

Not my best work, but still I am the one who gets to eat a castle made of sugar so FUCK YOU

Merry Christmas

JSF Birthday cake - Death Star

JSF is 17 tomorrow

I thought I would bake him a cake

I got the idea from here but it wasn't much use as a "how to" guide. 

I'm not really that happy with it, I preferred my Star Wars Xmas cake, but it was an interesting exercise 

it's no moon.
