UPDATED: Tutorial HERE Scroll all the way down to see the UPDATED pictures and video for how to pipe ruffles for this fun cake!
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!
And there you have it… A Christmas Tree Red and Green Ornament Inside Cake! Easy peasy.
Here is the tutorial for this 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! 🙂
Wow! Those ruffles are beautiful, and I love the trees! (And the ornament. Your ‘inside the cake’ ideas are always amazing.)
My favorite of all you have ever done! PERFECT!!!!!
Stunning! You pulled off the technique beautifully!
You are AMAZING! I’ve always loved that cake too! Yours is perfect– I loooove it! Will definitely be featuring it on my tumblr! I will prob put it on my main blog too when i do favorites christmas post! This has got to be my all time favorite of yours. Ahhhhh! Loooooove it! I could never tell
You enough how fabulous you are!
I saw the comment that someone left that said she literally “gasped” when she scrolled down through the pictures. I can totally relate because I did the exact same thing!!! You’ve out done yourself with this one Amanda (and I didn’t think that was possible). You AMAZE me with your talent and creativity!!!!!
I love this cake! You do such an amazing job! The ruffles are perfect and the tree ruffles are perfect!
Incredible! That is just beautiful.
This is absolutely beautiful! Icing baked goods is by far my worst kitchen skill, so when I saw this picture at the top of your post I panicked. However, I think you are right that it would be super forgiving.
I may need to try this!
Wow. Just wow. That’s beautiful and amazing and so totally impressive!
That is just so cool. You are a very awesome and creative person! God surely blessed you with a wonderful talent!!
