Fancy a slice?

We are so sorry for mis-crediting the maker of the beautiful High Hopes "Three Wisemen Cake". This cake was made several months ago by Katie from "Nutcrafters" in the UK. The picture is from a display that Nutcrafters had at a stamp show at Doncaster Deaf School. For more information on how to make the cake, and for more pictures, you can visit their blog here: http://nutcrafters.blogspot.com/


Don't forget challenge 11 will stay open until our next challenge on 4th January so you still have plenty of time to join in!
