Christmas Cake Decorating Ideas That Will Make Baking Interesting

Christmas is a great time to prepare yummy cakes that can be served during the celebration.Baking a cake with nuts and your favorite flavor may not win you a grand prize, but it will surely make you and those around you feel blissfully immersed in Christmas that will bring harmony in life. Yes, if you are planning for a picture perfect Christmas and it has been your dream this year than baking can bring an irrefutable sense of satisfaction that can successfully bridge the gap between the fantasy world and reality. 



Today in this blog, I will share with you some interesting and simple Christmas cake decorating ideas that you can find in supermarkets. 

First turn the cake over so that the underside is on the top as this makes it easy to decorate the cake with a neat finish. Brush your cake with apricot jam or marmalade that has been softened in the microwave and then dust it with icing sugar. Now that your cake is sticky, it is ready for the marzipan layer. 500 grams of marzipan are enough to coat a cake that is of 8’’cake. Knead the marzipan and roll out a sausage. 

Now use a rolling pin to roll it out. Measure the thickness of your cake so that it surrounds the outside of the cake. Trim neatly the two edges meet. Now take some more marzipan and roll it out into a circle. Using the tin that you used to bake the cake, cut out a circle for the top of the cake and gently seal the edges. Now start with the decoration: 

Chocolate tree cake: Get some tree shaped chocolates that you can easily find in the supermarkets. Spread icing over the cake with a palette knife giving it a rippling effect and place the trees. Sprinkle edible glitters and sugar snowflake decorations. 

Let party cake: Give a star effect on the icing by using a star pattern rolling pin. Push it firmly to leave a star print. Now place a 3D Lets Party sign on top of the cake and place some sparklers and light them when you bring it to the table. 

Floral design cake: Take simple icing and cover the layer of marzipan. Then use a star shaped cutter to create stars. Fill each shape with edible silver balls and place some star cut out from the remaining icing to have a floating effect. 

Fruit cake decoration: This Christmas cake decoration idea is simple but effective. Just buy marzipan fruit and arrange them round the rim of the cake. I hope the above decoration ideas will help you to decorate your cake beautifully this time!
