Buttercream Christmas Tree Cake - Baking Butterly Love

This holiday season, Wilton was kind enough to send me some holiday baking goodies to make this Christmas tree cake! I was pretty excited because I’ve never made a shaped cake before and I also got to try out some new piping tips (drop flowers!) If you are planning to try a shaped cake pan like this, I would definitely recommend using a cake recipe that isn’t too sticky/crumbly.

And don’t worry, I didn’t cut the cake in the pan! A lot of people seemed to be really concerned about that fact in the video.
