      Easy Christmas Cut-Up Cakes - Melissa Barlow

      Introduction

      This book is full of easy cake ideas that you can make for any special winter holiday occasion—especially Christmas. Choose your favorite pattern and surprise your family and friends with your creative genius!

      Bake the Cake

      The first step when making any cake in this book is to read the entire recipe before starting. Make sure you have the right pans for the cake you’ve chosen and gather all the ingredients together so they will be handy.

      Preheat the oven while you grease the cake pans and mix the batter. An oven that has been preheated will cook the cake evenly. And pans that have been greased will let the cake pop out in one piece after it has cooled a bit.

      Follow the instructions on the cake mix package for ingredients. After mixing the ingredients together and making a smooth batter, carefully transfer the batter to the greased pans. Place the pans in the oven and bake for the time listed in the recipe. To test for doneness, insert a toothpick in the center of the cake. If it comes out clean, the cake is done.

      Let the cakes cool completely before you frost them. This will help keep crumbs out of your frosting. You can even bake the cake a day before you frost it.

      Frost the Cake

      Frosting is one of the most important parts of decorating your cake. Frosting can be messy, so proceed with patience.

      To help keep your cake plate clean, stick little pieces of wax paper just under the edges of your cake. When you finish frosting the cake, pull out the wax paper pieces and throw them away.

      What Frosting Should I Use?

      There are many store-bought frostings that taste great and will work just fine with these recipes. Some of these purchased frostings are whipped, making them easier to spread, however, sometimes you need frosting that is stiffer, like for squeezing through a decorating bag to draw lines or make shapes. For stiffer frosting (or if you want to flavor the frosting yourself), you can make your own frosting using the provided recipes.
