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! That has to be the most gorgeous cake I have seen in a long, long time! Love the ruffle trees and then you showed the inside and my jaw DROPPED! How the heck did you so that? I have looked through your Jan & Feb posts and I don’t see it. Please share. Salivating mouths want to try it! 🙂
I wish I was as skilled as you! I cannot imagine everyone’s face as you cut it open, mine was literally like this –> 😀 and :O you’re amazing! You inspire me to be original even when I’m using other people’s ideas. Love you!!
Holy cow – so are you going to tell us the trick or what?!
Wow that is so lovely! It looks like so much work but really worth it in the end. I bet you shocked everyone!
Would LOVE to know how to make the ornament inside this cake!!
Thank you~Jill
Plese do a tutorial on this absolutely stunning cake!
I smiled when I saw the trees incorporated into the ruffle design, but I gasped when I saw the ornament in the middle. Sweet, sweet, sweet.
Love, love, love and did I say LOVE it….The green against the white is stunning enough..but then you put an ornament inside….AH MAZING!!!!!!
