Lucie Phelps from Lucie's Cake Co reveals how you can incorporate the wintry season into your cake

Lucie Phelps from Lucie's Cake Co reveals how you can incorporate the wintry season into your cake.

"There are lots of ways you can do this.

"Add a touch of sparkle to your bake. This can be done using edible sequins, sugar or glitter.

"If you want to create an elegant feel, then opt for an all white creation. Add ruffles, sparkling sugar and a hint of blue to make it more festive.

"Alternatively, you could choose warm reds and golds. These indulgent colours will create a romantic and luxurious atmosphere.

"The rustic look is popular right now. Look at semi-naked and buttercream bakes finished off with evergreens and berries.

"A chocolate drip cake with gingerbread decorations would look fabulous.

"Remember the flavours you use are just as important as the embellishments. Opt for festive options such as ginger, cinnamon and chocolate."
