How do I make my cake Christmasy?!
Answers: I'm making Orange Dreamsicle cake. It's orange on the inside with a fluffy white frosting. I want to decorate it (keep in mind, I'm NOT talented at this at all) so it looks Christmasy. It will be a sheet cake 9x13. I got some orange sugar sprinkles and have some oranges to slice but does anyone have any good ideas? Nothing challenging, just pretty . I think any red or green decoration might clash with the inside. Thanks.
You could lay the orange segments out in the shape of a Christmas tree.
Or if you make slices of a whole orange (so you have round slices), you could make them like ornaments. Save a little of the frosting and use food coloring to make it dark, then use a toothpick to draw the ornament hook for each orange slice.
I asked my Mom for help on this one.
She said to dip the orange slices in sugar and then twist them. (I would think she was thinking orange sliced and then in halves.) Place randomly over cake.
?D
If you can, make the frosting chocolate. Orange and chocolate is such a great combination! :) Then you could use those silver dots (tiny spheres) to decorate and the colors won't clash :)
Use some red and green frosting, sprinkles, sugar, or anything else you can think of!
maybe you should write "Merry Christmas" on it and add some green and red stars.
you can candy the orange slices by cooking them in sugar water, then rolling them in sugar. then you can put them on the cake!
Just get crazy and go nuts with the sprinkles, thats so much fun and it will look really festive all sprinkled!!! Sometimes the best decorations are the least intentional.
