Christmastime is one particular of the greatest baking seasons of the year — with cookie exchanges, food gifts, and parties of all kinds. If you’d like to make a dessert that is eons above the “same old same old” pies or puddings, feel cake — and take a look at these designs for some great suggestions on how to decorate it. If you are especially handy with a needle (or you have a friend who is!), make a cross-stitch banner saying “Merry Christmas” to wrap around the sides of your cake…then frost the prime with snowy white and invite a snowman to come aboard. If you’re not “crafty” even though, do not despair — acquire figures for the leading of your cake, and it’ll still be company-ready. On the other hand, try “non-cake-shapes” such as stacks of “boxes” or giant “ornament” circles, and you’ll wow your guests for certain.
If you are great with fondant, you can make holly leaves, red bows, blue and silver stars, polar bears — even Angry Birds or Winnie the Pooh! Candy shapes are available for items like sleighs, strings of reindeer, or a sliver of a moon or get inventive with fruit and make small elfin “hats” out of strawberries. And how about folks who have birthdays at Christmastime? Blend Christmas and birthday cakes with a white icing base and add other decorations in the person’s preferred colors bring in some Christmas trims either on the cake or around its base. (P.S. Don’t forget to write “Happy Birthday” on those cakes!) What ever colors or designs you pick…Christmas cakes can be some of the greatest you’ll make all year. Have fun with them!
