Coolest Christmas Cake 18

Homemade Christmas Cake
I make cakes as a hobby so at Xmas i wanted to do some thing a little bit special. The whole Christmas Cake is homemade from scratch. The Xmas tree is 3D rounded and stands 16" high, covered in forest green homemade icing fondant then hand picked with a cocktail stick to make it appear more life like.
Then different coloured balls of icing were covered in coloured sugar to give it a sparkley effect. The star at the top was cut out of white fondant, decorated with silver sugar balls then a small candle was put behind it to light up. The base of the plate was covered with white icing then extra bits to give a more uneven lifelike effect.
The 2 small bears were made from Xmas cake then rounded and sculptured and covered with grey fondant icing and again picked with cocktail stick to give a fur like affect, then dressed with elf like clothing made from icing. The sca was made from a small piece of Xmas cake covered then filled with handmade candy canes and gifts.
The large bear was made in the same way but on a bigger scale and the beard was made from small balls of white fondant icing. The snowman and the hill he sits on were both made from Xmas cake rounded and sculptued the covered with fondant icing.
The whole thing was then sprinkled with icing sugar, edible snowflakes and edible glitter. The whole thing from start to finish, from scratch (making homemade Xmas cake, no packet mixes) took 8 hours.
