Christmas Tree Cake (December 2011)


Carrot cake filled and iced with buttercream, decorated with sugar pearls, mini M&Ms, coconut flakes and a shortbread cookie.Cake was baked in Wilton's Christmas Tree Pan.

Lessons learned:

  • Using a shaped pan was easier than carving the tree out of a 9x13 pan like I did last year. It also gave it a nice, wavy shape unlike last year's cake, which was very flat.
  • Individually placing each sugar pearl is still very time consuming. Maybe I should have used fondant instead. There's always next Christmas ...
