Check out my original Christmas Tree Ruffle Surprise-Inside cake!
I decided to try and put trees in the midst of all those ‘ruffles’. To make the Christmas Tree Ruffle Cake I prefer to use my Whipped Vanilla Buttercream frosting. It pipes beautifully!
For the interior of the cake, I use my White Cake recipe… it’s the BEST!
But then, I took it a step further.
A Surprise Inside Cake!
The inside of this precious little cake that nearly killed me to cut into I loved it so is a red and green striped ornament!
A precious little green and red striped ornament… all INSIDE the cake!

Since originally creating this design in 2011, I have recreated this cake many times. The most recent time I took a few pictures!
Same design as the original Christmas Tree Ruffle Cake… three trees around the perimeter.
I also added a little tiny yellow star. That is optional of course!
But this time, I made a video! Now you can see how to ruffle the TOP of the cake! 🙂
