christmas cake

[roseeoh]

hi
in vain hope i post this question.Years ago i made a cake (recipe from a mag) it was called night before christmas,basically the top of the cake was based on a living room sofa,fireplace,rug xmas tree & pressies all made from marzipan and icing moulded into these various shapes,it was excellent,so therefore my question is, has anybody out there ever heard of this cake and by a miracle have the recipe?

No help really..but I have been thro my file as I made it as well. I am sure it was a Women's Realm recipe and I remember that the fireplace was made from a cut off from the main cake and placed on top. I made tiny Christmas cards for the mantle piece as well.

I found a woman's weekly mag with cakes in (but not that one ) and I now think it was from that publication. If I can find photo I will post link but don't hold your breath as my photos are in a complete mess.

I now think it was Women's Weekly.I used to buy it at Christmas just for the cake designs. Got lots of them but not the cake you want !!
