Servings 15 servings
Ingredients
Cake
- 1 box white cake mix
- Ingredients listed on box
Filling:
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup marshmallow cream
Decoration:
- 3 cups white candy coating
- 2 tablespoons shortening optional
- Green sanding sugar or other candy decoration
- Red cookie icing pouch
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 350° and Line 2 9x13-inch pans with parchment paper. Spray with cooking spray.
- Make the cake according to the package directions. Divide evenly between the two pans and bake for 15 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Cool the cakes completely.
- Using a Christmas tree cookie cutter cut as many trees out as you can. If the cakes are thick, cut them in half horizontally. If the cakes are thin, you will use 2 cakes to make 1 cake.
- Beat the whipping cream and vanilla together until thick, then add the powdered sugar and beat until combined. Add the marshmallow cream and combine.
- Spread a large spoon of filling over one side of the cake, then top with the other side. When all the trees have filling, freeze for 2 hours.
- Melt the candy coating and shortening together and using a fork, dip the trees until coated on all sides. Tap any extra coating from the cakes.
- While the icing is still soft, sprinkle with green sugar.
- When all the cakes are coated and dried, pipe lines over the trees.
