by Sarah Alcock

If you're not into rolling perfect icing, and would prefer your Christmas baking to look a bit more original, rustic and festive, then try some of Lily Vanilli's top decorating ideas.

We spent the morning with Lily at her lovely east London bakery, where she showed us how to ice and decorate three simple bakes that can be easily recreated at home.

Lily uses the new Lurpak Cook's range in her baking.
