I decided to try a holly wreath cake this year. My cake is always quite moist (and when I mix it appears to be more nuts and fruit than cake!) and I think it was probably that which made it very difficult to cut out the central space!! The suggestion in the magazine was that the section you cut out could be iced as a separate mini-cake - yep, by the time I had managed to drag the cake out from the middle of the wreath, it looked nothing like a mini-cake. Still, gave me a great chance to sample it!!!!
The ready to roll icing worked very well, although it is a bit icing sugary (I needed that to stop it sticking to the rolling pin!) Just need to work on a way to make it look all lovely and glossy and not covered in my fingerprints!!!
