Stage Christmas cake
The A & O of the Christmas cakes is the adornment: the cake decoration makes the Christmas cake complete. There are many different options for this:
- With the different attachments for a spout, you can place decorative decorations made of cream on the Christmas cake in addition to tuffs, cake borders and borders.
- Marzipan forms the basis for a crowning marzipan corner, which not only tastes delicious, but also provides the perfect stage for small figures from the sugar-almond mass.
- To cover the pies is also fondant. For the festive mood, other motifs from the sugar mass, such as stars or Christmas balls, can provide the appropriate adornment.
- For dark cakes can be magic with powdered sugar in no time at a fast deco: Simply cut out Christmas motifs made of paper. Then hold the paper template over the cake and sprinkle icing sugar through a sieve.
- If you like it a little sweeter, you can rely on sugar: sugar pearls and Co. are particularly good on a cream.
- Baiser also offers endless possibilities to decorate cakes: from this, for example, polka dots, hearts or fir trees can be easily made.
When choosing Christmas cakes you are spoiled for choice! One thing we can promise you: they are all delicious! We wish you a lot of fun baking and happy holidays.
