Do-it-yourself Christmas tree cake - tasty and beautiful
A beautiful, tasty and unusual Christmas tree cake can be divided into types according to the method of assembly and decoration. These are assembled plast cakes in the form of a Christmas tree. They can be horizontal and vertical, and they can be made from honey, biscuit, sand cakes and even from profiteroles. This category also includes New Year's cakes, with a picture of a Christmas tree or compositions with it applied to them through a stencil. Another variety is cakes decorated with separately made edible sweet Christmas trees, for example, from mastic, decorated with painted gingerbread, cookies, icing or other sweets.
How to cook a Christmas tree cake at home and how to make edible Christmas trees on a cake with your own hands from different products will be discussed in this post.
Horizontal plast cakes Christmas trees
The first cake in the form of a Christmas tree for the New Year is made from biscuit cakes baked in a silicone Christmas tree mold. If there is no such shape, then a traditional Christmas tree can be stenciled from a simple rectangular biscuit. The author of the video recipe shows in great detail the whole process of decorating a New Year's cake.
Using this video recipe, you can decorate your traditional and favorite cake with cream Christmas trees and you will get a delicious and beautiful New Year's dessert.
Stencil Christmas tree cakes will allow you to make your favorite homemade cake with a new Christmas decor. By simply applying the stencil of your choice to the finished cake and sprinkling the remaining space of the dessert with powdered sugar or cocoa, you will get the picture you like. What happens is visible in the photo. This way of decorating cakes for the new year is so simple that I did not post separate videos.
Vertical edible Christmas tree cakes for the New Year
According to this video recipe, you can make a cake in the form of a Christmas tree for the New Year in a vertical design. Detailed recipes for the used biscuit and cream for decorating the Christmas tree cake can be found under the author's video on YouTube. In the same place, there is a link to a video where the author very simply and intelligibly told how to make such decor for a cake as New Year's icing balls and about the protein glaze recipe used for this.
In this video recipe, a similar idea, but implemented from shortcrust pastry and sour cream.
And this is a very tasty and beautiful, voluminous vertical cake in the form of a Christmas tree (3D) in a completely different design. Recipes for cakes and cream for this dessert, as well as for all subsequent ones, can be found at the links under the author's videos on YouTube.
Another vertical Christmas tree cake is the famous French dessert cake Croquembush. You will get a tall and beautiful edible Christmas tree-cone made of profiteroles or eclairs, in a word, from such small choux pastry buns. You will learn all the details of preparation and decoration from the video recipe. When eating, such a cake does not need to be cut, it is enough to tear off one cake from the general structure. 🙂 As for me, it is very convenient. 🙂
According to an idea similar to the previous video recipe, albeit not very quickly, but for sure - easily and simply, a meringue tree is being prepared. 🙂
And this Christmas tree cake made of shortcrust pastry and condensed milk. A very simple recipe and making such a New Year's dessert is possible not only for a novice hostess, but also for children. 🙂 Moreover, if there is no time to mess around with baking homemade cookies, which are used to form a cone, then you can use the purchased one. Thus, thanks to the idea presented in this video recipe, you will have a beautiful and quick Christmas tree cake without baking. 🙂
If in all previous recipes we had a Christmas tree made of cream, then the author of this video recipe will show you how to make a biscuit cake in the form of a Christmas tree using mastic.
With cakes-trees, perhaps, we will round off. 🙂 But I will give a couple more video ideas on how to make small sweet Christmas trees as decor for a cake and other desserts for the New Year's table.
