Christmas Tree Cake

Cut the Shape:

• Use a large, sharp knife to cut a triangle out of your cake layers to form the tree shape.
• Use the leftover pieces to create the trunk at the bottom.
• Stack the layers with frosting in between.

Option 2: Decorated Round Cake

1. Prepare the Base:
   • Frost the cake layers as usual with green buttercream for a smooth finish.
2. Decorate the Tree:
   • Pipe a triangular outline of a Christmas tree onto the top of the cake.
   • Fill the tree with piped stars or swirls of green frosting.

Decorating Ideas:

1. Ornaments & Lights:
   • Add colorful candies, sprinkles, or edible pearls as ornaments.
   • Use thin strips of fondant or piped white frosting for “light strings.”
2. Star Topper:
   • Place a star-shaped cookie, fondant cutout, or piped yellow frosting star at the top of the tree.
3. Snowy Details:
   • Dust the cake with powdered sugar for a snowy effect.
   • Pipe small white dots or swirls as snowflakes around the tree.
4. The Trunk:
   • Pipe brown buttercream at the bottom of the tree or use a chocolate bar piece for a simple trunk.

Pro Tips:

• For extra flair, make small edible gifts out of fondant or candy to place around the base of the tree.
• Add shimmer with edible glitter or metallic gold accents!
