CANDY CANE FOREST CAKE:

The flavour that would complement the candy canes the best, according to us, is Vanilla. But of course, you can take your pick. Once you have baked the Vanilla cake, trim the domed top of the cake and cut the cake in three equal layers. Take the bottom-most tier and layer it with Vanilla frosting and Cherry jam. Repeat the step for the middle layer and for the top tier, cover the flat top and the sides of the cake with the frosting.

Insert the small Christmas tree cake tops on the cake, accompanied by cherries and fix the candy canes on the sides of the cake. You can also crush some candy mints and sprinkle them on the cake.

COOKIES’ CHRISTMAS TREE:

If you want to be that fun person who ditches the traditional and adds their quirky touch to every party, then this one is for you! Instead of baking a cake and waiting for an hour for it bake and then an hour for it to cool down, you can simply order the Christmas cookies from Frosted, that are decorated with the theme of Yuletide in mind. And all you would have to do is place them on top of it each other in a way that they replicate a Christmas tree!

BUNDT CAKE:

Made in a Bundt pan, the Bundt cake doesn’t have one recipe, but is made according to the shape and size of the pan as well as the taste of the one eating the cake. The recipe to make a simple Bundt cake-

Grease the Bundt pan with oil and in a bowl mix together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. To this mixture, add eggs, and vanilla extract and beat properly. In another large bowl, whisk together flour, corn starch, baking powder, and salt. Pour in milk and mix until fully incorporated, then add remaining dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Put the mixtures into the Bundt pan and bake.

You can decorate the cake with Chocolate glaze or Vanilla frosting and top with cherries or chocolate chip cookies.
