The Twelve Yums of Christmas: Part Four


Every year, my mother makes a huge square Christmas cake.  It's my job to ice and to decorate it, and it's a responsibility I take very seriously.

Some of the cake decorations are more than twenty years old, and really, they look it.  So you have to be tactical with your placement - for example, burying Bambi in an icing snowdrift so you can't tell that he's got no legs.  (What do you mean, Bambi isn't festive?  He's a deer?  Which is a bit like a reindeer?  Hello?)


As you can tell, I have shunned the less is more approach.
