How To Make A Santa Cake

The Ingredients: Swiss Meringue Buttercream.  Vanilla and the following colors: red. green, “flesh”, black piping gel. Iced cake in the flavor of your choice – I am using my improved vanilla sponge cake.

Using the flesh colored buttercream, ice a section of the top which will represent the skin around the eyes and nose.  Using red buttercream ice the area above the flesh colored portion to represent the hat,  Using white buttercream, pipe rosettes to represent the hat furry border.

Continue piping white rosettes along the cake edge from one side of the red hat to the other,  Fill in the beard with rosettes.

Pipe the mustache by making 2 reverse scrolls.

Use black piping gel for the eyes.  Pipe a red mouth under the mustache.  Pipe 3 green holly leaves

Use red buttercream to pipe the holly berries.  Use red buttercream to pipe a reverse shell border on the top edge.  With the white buttercream, pipe a reverse shell base border,

Use green buttercream to make offset dots around the cake.  Pipe a flesh colored nose above the mustache.

Wow, stand back and look in awe at the creation you created!
