Place the saddle of venison (900 ml content; 26 cm length) in a greased, breadcrumbed form and smooth it down. Bake in a preheated oven (electric: 175 °C/ gas: level 2) for 30-35 minutes. Leave to rest in the form for 10 minutes. Then turn out onto a cake rack. For the icing, mix icing sugar, lemon juice and bitter almond flavour. Pour over the middle of the saddle of venison so that the icing runs down the sides. Leave to dry and decorate as desired with lemon balm, lemon slices and chocolate leaves.
