Method :
Put the icing
sugar through a sieve into a bowl. Add the caster sugar and ground
almonds. Mix well. Add the lemon juice and almond essence. In another
bowl, beat the egg with a fork. Slowly add the beaten egg to the other
ingredients. Use a wooden spoon and mix well. The mixture should be very
thick. Roll the mixture out until it is about 3/4cm thick. Cut a circle
of almond paste the same size as the Christmas cake. Put this on top of
the cake. You can also put almond paste round the sides of the cake. If
you like. Cover the cake with aluminum foil again and keep it in an
airtight tin until a week before Christmas. Then cover the cake with
Royal Icing.
