On this site the picture of the Creole Xmas cake ( which I am making for the first time ) is iced and presumably marzipaned . In her BBC Christams book she says it is too rich to be marzipaned and iced . I would dearly like to ice it like a traditional cake what do you think ? Thankyou

Hello J W Hooper,
I expect Delia’s tastes have changed a bit over the years but I can tell you that Delia herself is having a Creole Cake which she is going to cover all over with marzipan and fondant icing.
Like a traditional Christmas cake you can decorate a Creole cake any way that you like.
Best wishes
Lindsey
