Our rich, malty Christmas cake – a feast of sherry-soaked fruits, cherries, citrus and nuts – layered with marzipan and royal icing, then hand decorated with a cheerful Merry Christmas and a gorgeous wreath of handmade leaves. To finish, the cakes are festooned with stars and a bow, before royal icing is carefully hand-piped into an intricate scrolling design.

“We are one of the few places that still does royal icing – it requires a very steady hand and a lot of focus, and due to the time and expertise required, has become a bit of a lost craft. It makes me so proud to work at Bettys – a mix of traditional sugarcraft, dedication and magic.” – Danni Greig, a second generation cake decorator who has been with us at the Craft Bakery since 1999.

We’re able to make only a small number of these handcrafted cakes; please order promptly to reserve yours. "

To achieve the best results when cutting your fruit cake please use a serrated knife with a sawing action, cleaning the knife between each slice.
