The Cake
I made a simple 3 layered cake with White Vanilla Icing. The cake flavor was red velvet just to be festive! This cake is rather quick and simple but makes a beautiful holiday cake when you add on the Vanilla Icing Christmas Trees. Check out my recipe and video on how to make Vanilla Buttercream Icing.
Making the trees
This Icing Christmas trees look so elegant, and they are so easy to make. You will need vanilla decorating icing, green food coloring, Star piping tip, a piping bag, and sugar cone. Ensure you use Green gel food coloring. Gel food coloring makes bolder, brighter color without affecting flavor or consistency.

I always keep a handful of Wilton Gel Colors on hand. They last quite awhile because a little goes a long way. I am just a self taught home cake decorator but I did invest in some piping tips. They really come in handy for multiple cooking projects, even savory dishes. I bought a basic set which will have everything you need for most projects.
