Mini Christmas Cakes?!
Could i spoon light fruit christmas cake mixture into fairy cake case, then cook them as until done as per usual.
Then glaze only the top the cake with apricot glaze, put a small layer of marzipan and white icing on top and decorate with a small holly deco.
I was wondering if this could work? Or if there are any other guidelines i have to follow to get this mixture right?
Thanks, any tips or hints are gratefully recieved.

You might find fairy cake tins too small, muffin tins,esp the non stick so you could avoid using paper cases, I think would work better but cook on a low temp to avoid burning but ensuring the mixture is properly cooked. Try one or two first to get things right before cooking to many at once. Be sparing with the icings too, as too much will detract from the cake. I think it's a lovely idea, thoughtful.
You might consider using a poured fondant like you would for petit fours. This would give you a good base for decorating.
Keep an eye on them, they will burn easily. Maybe a water-bath would help.
