I know I said I would stop with the red and green but apparently I was totally lying. Sorry.
I made a white cake, tinted some frosting red and green, then melted some chocolate. Have you ever made chocolate curls? I had tried once before. It was a major fail. I am pretty sure there were even some comments mocking my skills, and if they werent totally right I might have been upset.
Ok, so looks like I still have not mastered this technique. I could not get one single perfect swirly curl.
I blame the red candy melts I used. And the warm December weather. And that one boy in 2nd grade who called me 4-eyes. *cough*
Clearly I have issues.
In addition to sharing this sweet little Christmas cake with you, I also wanted to share a couple other cakes that I think you would enjoy!
I can’t help but be drawn to the beauty of the red, white & green color palate and you will see that most of my Christmas cakes fall inline with that theme!

Oh my, for fabulousness! I LOOOOOOOVE this cake. And I want a BIG slice! Merriest Christmas wishes to you and your family, Amanda. xo
For some reason I just got an email in my inbox with this post, even though it’s over two months old now. Weird! Anyway, I looked at the rafflecopter and saw someone with my name won and just wanted to make sure it wasn’t me. I don’t think I got any email about it so I’m assuming it’s another lucky Veronica. 🙂
This cake is so gorgeous! You make it look so easy and professional!
