Ingredients (7 ingredients)

20 cm fruitcake

750 g golden marzipan
750 g white ready-to-roll icing
3 piece 5-pointed star cutters
30 g pack small gold balls
65 cm length of wide ribbon

Preparation (7 steps)

Prepare the Cake

Thermomix® Setting

1 min/122°F/Speed 2 50

Place the fruitcake onto a cake board or plate. In the Thermomix, add the apricot jam and heat for 1 Min./50°C/Stufe 2 to make it easier to spread. Spread the warmed apricot jam evenly over the top and sides of the fruitcake.

Cover with Marzipan

Roll out the golden marzipan on a lightly sugared surface. Carefully drape the marzipan over the cake, smoothing it down to cover the entire surface. Trim any excess marzipan at the base.

Apply the Icing

Lightly brush the sides of the marzipan-covered cake with water. Roll out the white ready-to-roll icing on a lightly sugared surface. Drape the icing over the cake, smoothing it down. Trim any excess icing at the base.

Create Star Cutouts

Gently press the star cutters into the icing, stopping when you reach the marzipan layer. Carefully remove the star shapes using the cutter or the tip of a knife.
