I have attempted to make a christmas cake for the first time today, it has come out fine, apart from the top has cracked.........when I ice the cake in a few weeks time, do I need to cut the top off the cake to create a flat surface or will this spoil the cake? I want the icing to look nice and smooth as I have bought some of those lovely little decs to go on the top. It is a fruit cake containing whisky and the fruit was boiled in sherry etc. I have spent alot on this cake and would like it to be 'right' when it is finished.
I am planning to use ready rolled marzipan and icing as I have never done this before.
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Thankyou in advance.
