I love holiday baking: cakes, cookies, gingerbread houses, all of it! Here is a Christmas Cake I made the other day for a dinner gathering. The new part for me was trying to take the
Rainbow Cake technique and use Christmas Colors instead. I would totally agree with the original author and double the recipe for better striping, but I think the ribbons of color still turned out pretty festive.
The decorations were sugared jellies from the bulk section of the grocery store, Keebler fudge covered graham crackers, and some marshmallows stacked up to be snowmen. The peaked icing look was done using the back of one of BabyGirl's spoons. I tapped it gently all over the cake, pulling up the little peaks and giving a bit of a snowy feeling. The decorating took most of one nap, so 30 to 45 minutes, but didn't seem like too much. Just another fun holiday cooking experiment. Enjoy!

ReplyDeleteYou forgot to mention the tree shaped sprinkles that were between the layers. They provided great mid cake crunch!
