Ho ho ho, ok this one is next level festive but if you love to go 100% Christmassy, and you're confident with a piping bag and batch of buttercream, then it could be the one for you. Use cake decorating tools to help you out – a cake decorating turntable and icing smoother are the perfect utensils to help achieve a perfectly polished look with your icing. An adjustable cake leveller allows you to trim off any raised lumps and bumps that the cake grew in the oven, for the perfect base for your Christmas decorating creations. This ‘snow much fun’ cake is a winter wonder-ful masterpiece, and worth the investment in time it takes to create for the awe of your guests.
For a confetti-inspired style, randomly place lots of colorful fondant circles across the cake, sticking them on with lemon extract as a glue.

And this one is decorated with the small star tip and I also tossed a few red candy balls to give this cake a pop of color.
It's one of our favorite decorating tips, since it's so easy , and will hide a myriad of baking sins (flour lumps, cracks, etc.). Classic buttercream is great and all, but have you ever had Italian meringue? The not too sweet frosting pairs well with the rich chocolate cake and looks great swirled or toasted on the outside. Pipe it on to make pretty swirls and rosettes, or use a kitchen torch for a s'mores vibe.
