How to Decorate a Christmas Light Cake with Candy

Supplies:

  • Layer cake of your favorite recipe
  • Buttercream frosting
  • Angled spatula
  • Black licorice strings
  • Christmas light sprinkles

Step 1: Frost the cake as usual, first with a crumb coat, then a thicker layer. Smooth with a scraping tool or angled spatula and refrigerate 15 minutes.

Step 2: Unravel the black licorice. Starting at the base of the cake, lightly press the the licorice into the frosting to hold it in place. Create a random curving pattern all over the cake, making the strand of the lights.

Step 3: Once you’ve created the wire, add the lights! Space the Christmas light sprinkles apart (follow a color pattern if desired) all over the wire pattern. That’s it!
