Regardless of
what you plan to bake this season, traditional Christmas cakes, fruit or plum
cakes, be sure to decorate them in creative ways. A Christmas cake is almost
like your X Mas dinner show stopper, you cannot afford to let the decor go
wrong! What will your guests say? No worries check out these simple yet
creative Christmas cake decorating ideas.
The Penguin Cake
If you plan to
have a chocolate truffle cake this yuletide then explain exactly what you want
to the cake baker and designer. The best way is to have a base with the penguin
on top. Pure white sugar icing on the base helps create the perfect snow
ambience. The penguin creates the mood for the right winter dinner dessert.
Chequered cake with Sleigh Bells
If you plan to
have a simple fruitcake then you can add a dramatic twist to it with pure white
snow icing. Use blue icing to mark clear checks on the white cake top. Get
sugar sleigh bells and arrange them in a corner. Add silver sugar stars and
edible silver glitter. Use thick red icing to shape little ribbon like bows and
mark the edges.
The Gift Wrapped Box Cake
Cut a simple
plum cake such that it looks like a square box. Use deep red icing to cover the
entire cake. Bake a slightly larger square and place it atop the red box just
as though it were the cover. Cover the entire top with white icing and use red
icing to make giant polka dots. Use a real satin ribbon to gift wrap the cake
once the icing is completely dry. The idea is to make it look like a real gift
box.
