3. Chocolate Peppermint Cheesecake
It’s as easy to prepare as it sounds. All you need to do is to embellish a classic cheesecake with a dash of minty tinge. Just pour chocolate ganache on the top of the cheesecake and garnish it with candy canes and white chocolate. The only twist in this easy recipe is to add peppermint in the batter while preparing the cheesecake.
4. Candy Cane Forest Cake
Candy canes are so much exclusive to Christmas that it feels weird to have them any other time of the year. So, why not give them a special nod by preparing a cake which speaks the love for candy canes. All you need to do is prepare a vanilla or white forest cake in the kitchen or you could get it from an online bakery and decorate it with red and white candy canes on the top.
5. Mosaic Cake
It may sound like a complicated recipe but it’s as easy as the breeze. Just prepare a classic chocolate cake and top it off with white vanilla frosting. Line three or four candies end to end in the left and bake the cake until the candy is melted to form one long piece. Repeat the process with more candies and then tap gently on the cool piece of amalgamated candies to break it into sharts and lend a mosaic-like pattern to the cake.
6. Santa Cake
This recipe is so delicious and results in such an attractive cake that you won’t have any leftovers the next day. Just prepare a classic red velvet cake and use fondant to infuse it with elements of Santa like a red coat, belt and black buttons on a white strip. Using fondant will allow you to mould any shape into the frosting and use multiple colours of fondant to bring out the best in the desert.
