You can bake it too

I'm excited to be taking part again this year with #25daysofcollabs on Instagram with some amazing bakers to celebrate this festive season.  Each day since the start of December, different bakers have been involved in creating a bake from different themes. This year I've picked three themes to be part of.  Kicking off with this first theme - Christmas Candy.  When thinking about Christmas candy the first thing that comes to mind would be the famous candy canes. This Christmas Candy Cane Cake is made of a moist chocolate cake with Swiss meringue buttercream in between the layers.  The whole cake is covered in the smooth Swiss meringue buttercream and decorated with crushed candy canes, candy canes, sprinkles and a mini gingerbread man.

This cake is a special bake for my beautiful friend Sasha @sashacakeschicago  I was so sad to hear that her Instagram account was hacked and deleted recently.  As the Instagram community is amazing, we have come together and dedicated a bake to Sasha to help her rebuild her account back up. Be sure to head over and give her account a follow as her bakes are inspirational and she is so beautiful, sweet and supportive. This cake was inspired by Sasha's technique of carving out part of the cake and adding sprinkles.  I had fun trying out this technique but adding the sprinkles was not as easy as it looks. This Sprinkle Christmas Cake is made of a moist coconut cake with smooth Swiss meringue buttercream in between each layer.  The carved Christmas tree is decorated with sprinkles and the cake is dusted with icing sugar to create a snow effect. I hope you're inspired to try this technique too. Happy Baking xo Sprinkle Christmas Cake Ingredients · ...
