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! 🙂
That couldn’t even be any cooler! You are awesome and I seriously love that cake. Amazing! Have a great day rockstar!
I love this!! The soft frosting ruffles, yum!
Beautiful! My first thought was: It’s like Gussy made a cake! 😉
Oh my gosh!! That is just amazing!! It is so beautiful. I would not ever even attempt anything like that. You’re awesome!
So pretty! wonderful job, you are so creative!
you are genius!
ARe you kidding me?! This is the best looking holiday cake I have seen!! I love it. You are crazy talented!
And. . . Amanda, this is my fav cake from Martha! I have been wanting to make this and just can’t seem to figure out how to do it. Guess who will be emailing for some help. 🙂
This cake is beyond fantastic!! I love all your cakes but this is my favorite by far!
Pretty much in love! You should submit this to Martha as a variation! LOVE LOVE LOVE!
Yeah, “easy peasy” was exactly what I was thinking when I saw that cake. Ahem. SO beautiful, and I’m not buying the “easy” bit for one minute! How about: made with exact precision by my oober talented hands. It’s a gorgeous cake, and I love the added trees!
Hope you’re having a great time in Florida–not baking cakes! (unless you’re trying for huge brownie points with the extended family!) Hope this cake wins you some major kudos and awards!
