Times Cryptic Jumbo 1605 – 25 March 2023. The royal icing on the cake

Hi all.  No strict time for this due to (first session) falling asleep (no reflection on the puzzle – it was bed time!) and (second session) a cute cat needing attention.  Roughly speaking, the difference between it taking a little less than an hour and rather over was a handful of clues which I found rather a handful, containing between them as they did quite a few NHOs.  I was pleased indeed to get them.

After all that I had of course made a silly error …

I liked lots of clues, particularly 43d (as alluded to in the blog heading).  Thanks setter!
