Step 1: You will need …
* 1 VideoJug Christmas cake
* 1 packet of pre-rolled marzipan
* 750 g icing sugar
* 100 ml cold water
* 1 baking tray
* 1 spatula
* 1 bowl
* 1 wooden spoon
* 1 wire rack
Step 2: Lay the marzipan
Have the cake already prepared on the wire rack and baking tray. Next, unroll the marzipan, releasing it from its protective covering and lay the circle of marzipan over the cake. Squeeze the marzipan around the edges, using your fingers and whole hand, gently pressing down, so that it fits firmly over the cake.

Step 3: Make the icing sugar
Into the large bowl add the icing sugar and a dash of water and begin to mix it in. Gradually add the rest of the water, while stirring constantly, until it forms a thick, smooth paste.

Step 4: Ice the cake
Using your spatula, spoon a dollop of icing sugar on the cake and spread it over evenly. Spoon on a little more and spread it over around the sides. Continue until the entire cake has been covered. Smooth over and around the fringe of the cake as a final finish.

VIDEOJUG TIP
Why not reserve a little of the icing and add it to some food colouring to write a colourful Christmas greeting on your cake !
Once iced, place your cake into the fridge for half an hour to chill and set.

Step 5: Present and serve
Your cake it now ready to serve. Or you can decorate with some Christmas goodies for that extra festive feel! Merry Christmas!
