Christmas Tree Cake
Celebrate the holidays with this fun and fanciful Christmas Tree Cake! All parts of this cake can be made a week in advance and kept in the freezer until you’re ready to glaze and assemble making it an impressive make-ahead holiday cake! 🎉🎄
Inside, a spiced mousse sits on a gingerbread cake layer with an espresso chocolate cookie as the base – this cake is SOO good! The perfect combo of holiday flavors, and features a super fun green sparkly glaze on top.
During the class, we will be making all of the components together (chocolate espresso cookie base, gingerbread cake, vanilla spiced mousse, and green mirror glaze). At the end of the class, while your cakes are chilling, I’ll demo glazing and decorate to fun holiday music.
