Christmas

Christmas

    Tis the season for sweets!  For me Christmas is all about presentation.  I spend hours decorating my house, wrapping gifts super special and of course baking cookies and decorating cakes!  

Here is my Ugly Christmas sweater cake :)

This was my first attempt at Petite Fours.  They were very time consuming but turned out really pretty.  You make a poured fondant for the shell as appose to fondant or icing for a regular cake.  Here is the basic steps in a nut shell - 

1- make a one layer cake and cover with a thin layer of icing just on the top of the cake

2-freeze

3- cut in 1 inch squares

4-freeze

5- make poured fondant 

6- cover each frozen square with the poured fondant 

7-dry on cooling rack

8- decorate with butter cream frosting
