Ice and decorate your Christmas cake to perfection:

  • Brush the grapes and holly leaves with a thin coating of egg white, then sprinkle with caster sugar. Leave to dry.
  • Sift the icing sugar into a large bowl. Add egg white and whisk for about 5 mins over a pan of simmering water until thick and glossy.
  • Dollop the icing over the top of the cake and swirl it around with a palette knife.
  • Halve the clementines and figs and open out the cape gooseberries.
  • Arrange the fruits on the top and fix a festive ribbon around the cake.

You don't say how much icing sugar or how many egg whites you're talking about.

Hi, This will depend on how many things you want to frost. Start with one egg white and 4-5 tbsp caster sugar and then add more if you need to. I hope this helps, Lulu
