How to decorate a Christmas cake: Stacked star cake

Watch as the BBC Good Food cookery team show you how to top an iced cake with a tower of hand-cut, edible golden stars.

Points to remember

Scatter edible gold lustre over white rolled icing and rub over surface with fingertips.
Stamp out about 20 stars and leave overnight to dry.
Put a few stars flat on the cake then start to build a stack of balanced stars.
Decorate the sides of cake with a ribbon.

If your stars won’t balance, use the odd cocktail stick to help. Be careful if you need to move the cake because the stars are not fixed.
