Royal icing cake (Lemon moon / Citronmåne)

A very dear friend of mine always said "If at first you don't succeeded, try and try again", when ever she was a little less successful than she had hoped for - and then she went ahead again and did better.

I am afraid, that my first cake decorating attempt after meeting Mr Eddie Spence didn't turn out at all the way it was supposed to, and consequently, (if I am to follow my friend's example) I am afraid you will see MANY more cakes covered in and decorated with royal icing in the time to come!


The cake is a "Lemon Moon" (in danish "Citronmåne"). I have no idea why it's called that, as it is really just a kind of sponge cake with grated zest of two lemons. But a Lemon Moon cake always has a coating of royal icing on top, which is why I chose it for my first royal icing cake.
