The 2nd Cake of Christmas

December 6, 2011 by Carrie Sellman

We’re just getting started with our holiday cake inspiration, The 12 Cakes of Christmas.  12 days of festive cakes to make you merry, shared with us by some of today’s top cake shops.  Whether it’s a winter wedding, an elegant cocktail party or an open house, every occasion deserves a great cake appropriate for the season.  And our 2nd Cake of Christmas would definitely steal the show!

An enchanted forest comes to life in the form of cake.  With hand-painted winter landscapes and delicate fawn figures, today’s cake from Cake Opera Co. is a snow covered fantasy.  Prepare to get lost in this magical world of elegant birch trees and glittering deer….

And because two cakes are twice the fun, this design has a stunning counterpart.  Elegant quilting, ruffled flowers and willowy branches dusted with silver snow…

This extraordinary pair is truly magical!  The ladies of Cake Opera Co. take cake artistry to an entirely different level.  I’m just captivated and in awe of this exquisite cake duo.  The painted scene alone is dreamy, let alone the entire display!  Could you image this as the centerpiece of your holiday event?

A huge thanks to Jessica and Alexandria of Cake Opera Co. for sharing their Wintry Enchanted Forest Cakes with us today.  I could totally get lost in this sugar-coated winter wonderland!  Tomorrow, the fun continues with cake #3 of The 12 Cakes of Christmas!
