Some treats I spotted recently at the store inspired me to create this Christmas Holiday Cake, featuring a sweet winter scene complete with trees, logs, and mushrooms. This would be the perfect project to do with children because it's easy and fun to make.
I started by baking three chocolate cake layers and then filling and frosting them.
The fun part is the candy: Duplo Wafer Log Candies - Meiji Chocorooms - sugar cones, and snowy icy sprinkles.
I lightly frosted the cones by holding them with my fingers inside the cone and spreading the frosting on the cone with my other hand, followed by a dusting of green sugar sprinkles.
For a smaller tree, I broke off the bottom of a cone to make it smaller. Then, I frosted and sprinkled as I had done on the larger cone and then I placed the logs and trees all about the top of the cake.
and scattered a few chocorooms around the base.
And here comes the fun part: Snowy, icy sprinkles!
