FESTIVE SHOWSTOPPER CAKES! | | | I know when a lot of people hear "cake" during the holidays, fruitcake is immediately what comes to mind. But this week is not about fruitcake. No, this week is about gorgeous, showstopper cakes that are perfect for the holiday season. We're going to be channeling candy canes, eggnog, cranberries and mocha all into stunning cakes! Placing one of these beauties on the table after dinner or having it as the centerpiece to your buffet or dessert table is sure to bring some appreciative ooohs and ahhhhs! So, let's get baking! | | | Chocolate and peppermint - they may just be the classic Christmas flavour combo. And they come together beautifully in this Chocolate Peppermint Cake. Rich layers of chocolate cake are finished with a silky peppermint frosting. Decorate it with crushed candy canes for a festive finish! | | | Are you devastated that a particular coffee chain removed the Eggnog Latte from their holiday offerings? I hear you. But, there is a way to get your fix! This beautiful Eggnog Latte Cake! The cake layers are infused with eggnog and then paired up with two frostings: eggnog and espresso buttercreams. Long live the eggnog latte! | | | This beautiful Cranberry Orange Cake is as close as we'll be getting to fruitcake today. This is a simple yet elegant cake that's easy to decorate. Loaded with fresh cranberries and orange flavour, the cake is finished with a yummy cream cheese frosting. A festive mix of sweet and tart! | | | This beautiful Eggnog Cake has warmly spiced eggnog cake layers infused with a rum simple syrup. Then we finish it off with a tangy cream cheese frosting, a drippy white chocolate ganache and a dusting of nutmeg. Et voila! Your favourite holiday drink in cake form! | | | This festive White Chocolate Candy Cane Cake was inspired by... well... candy canes! The cake itself is a delicious white chocolate peppermint cake that's encased in a white chocolate buttercream. But it's the candy cane bark and red and white piped rosettes that really bring out that candy cane vibe! | | | A perfect "after-dinner" cake, this White Chocolate Mocha cake pairs tender white chocolate espresso cake layers with a whipped white chocolate ganache and silky espresso buttercream. It's a lovely way to finish off a festive evening. | | My new Liv For Cake eBook Bundle contains all my favourite and most popular recipes - all in handy ebook form.
