Hi everyone. I want to make a cake with a stand up Christmas tree on it but I'm not sure how to do it. Do you make it out of Royal icing or could you just use a stiff buttercream?
Sharon
you can use a stiff buttercream, and pipe around a icecream cone.

what about doing one of these cookies????
Thanks for getting back to me so quick. Everyone here on CC is so great . I have learned so much from this site.
I've saved a pic of a cake made by candyladyhelen. It's a tiered cake with a Christmas cake as the top tier. Great looking cake though the pic is blurred some. It might give you some ideas and you could pm her for help. It's a great looking cake!! It's in the Christmas album.
I did a cake with Christmas trees made out of gumpaste. Take a look in my pix. It's Blue and purple BC. The cake was a stacked construction with a large tree on top and smaller ones all around the sides. I rolled out the gumpaste and used X-mas tree cookie cutters. I got the instructions from one of the Wilton year books - I think it was an older book - maybe 2004? I loved doing this cake - even with the crazy colors. It was well received at my husbands office party.
