Leave the tinsel and bling for the Christmas tree and keep it simple with this tasteful finishing touch to your homemade cake
Beat the butter with sifted icing sugar and a little green food colouring. Spread the mixture on an 18-20cm square sponge or chocolate cake. Use matchstick chocolates or black liquorice laces to mark the branches of a Christmas tree, then dot on assorted chocolates to look like decorations.
