'Tis the season to try something new! In the past I've made Christmas desserts using the red, green, and gold color scheme, and have done Christmas cupcakes such as these:
But this year I wanted to experiment with something new. So after perusing Google images for inspiration, I saw a cake ball tree and knew I had to give it a try! Armed with a foam cone and toothpicks, I went to task. Here is how it turned out:
I rolled the cake balls on the bottom slightly larger than the top ones. Different sized cake balls also came in handy when I finished a row around the cone and needed a slightly larger or smaller one to fit and complete the row. The toothpicks worked well holding all of the cake balls in place. I hand-fashioned the star on the top, but next time I'll just take the easy route and find a cookie cutter star of a similar proportion. I can barely draw a 5-pointed star, let alone mold one out of cake, but it turned out pretty well!
