Merry Christmas

December 25, 2009 by Carrie Sellman 11 Comments

Merry Christmas!  May you have a wonderful holiday season filled with family, friends, laughter and an abundance of sweet treats.
Modern Christmas Cake

Since it is Christmas, I thought I’d share a cake design of my own today.  This three tiered grey and red design features light grey buttercream with fondant dots, a modern Christmas tree and is topped with an oversize red bow.  Inside, each layer was a different flavor to include French Vanilla cake with Raspberry Puree, Dark Chocolate cake with Espresso Buttercream and Chocolate Ganache, and finally my favorite, Chocolate Chip cake with Vanilla Buttercream.  Delish!

Wishing you a safe, happy and healthy holiday season.  Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

    This is a beautiful cake, and it’s so nice to see something iced in buttercream for a change. The insides sound absolutely delicious! Happy Holidays!

    Your buttercream is perfection. You are so talented!!! I dont know much about you, but I am guessing a professional cake decorate? If so, then I am doubly thankful for this blog. Any tips you can share and pics you can post on your beautiful work are so appreciated!

    Hope you have having a fantastic 2010!
