Bake it your way this Christmas! 4 Festive Styles we LOVE...
• Lynsey Macdonald
We know that everyone's perfect Christmas looks a little different! Whether you’re embracing nostalgia and dreaming of that traditional vibe, or feeling a little funky and looking to bring a fresh, colourful feel your festive bakes, we have different options for every taste. So, whatever your style, we can help you lean into it... Bake it your way this Christmas!
Cosy Christmas
Tis the season for tradition! If nostalgic vibes and classic colours are right up your street, we've got you covered. Classic reds and greens, holly and Christmas tree designs and cute wreaths - they will all transport you back in time! We're talking festive cookies, iconic gingerbread and Christmas fruit cake.
We absolutely love this festive swiss roll by @4cake_sake! It has that cosy, comforting feel of childhood Christmas, don't you think? You can watch Jess make it here on our YouTube - seeing it come together is amazing! And these holly leaf cookies and berry macarons? Genius!
This look has us transported to cocoa by the fire, ready for the big guy to leave a present under the tree - and we couldn't love it more.
Modern Magic
Category is: Festive but Funky! Not into traditional vibes? No problem! Make your bakes more modern by embracing unexpected colour palettes and funky festive styles.
Here it's all about fun, contemporary treats, and always thinking a little bolder - how about a pastel Christmas? Hell yeah! Rainbow Christmas? Yes please! Bento boxes, Chocolate barks, Cakesicles - you name it, let’s have some fun!
And thinking outside the box doesn't have to be complicated! Why not follow in Judit's (@yoras.cakes) footsteps. Here she used a gorgeous cool blue for her holly leaves and rainbow colours for her lettering on this cute Bento cake! You can watch her create it here.
Or level up a simple chocolate bark with edible metallic paints, and this iridescent, duo-chrome treat bag from Wilton. We are obsessed...
Cute Christmas
The most charming of looks - create cute characters in a frosted winter wonderland. We’re seeing kawaii vibes, a mix of traditional shades and also pops of colour. We’re ready for a cute Christmas!
If you're anything like us, Christmas isn't Christmas without a cute animal theme popping up here and there. From woodland creatures to polar bears and penguins, why not add some festive cuties to your bakes this year. Grab your modelling paste and fondant and get creative!
This cake and these cupcakes by @acakeonlife are the perfect example! Eye catching colours (using The Sugar Paste), and super cute toppers (penguin created using the FMM Penguin Cutter). These will be such a crowd pleaser, for kids and adults alike. Watch this video to see the cupcakes come together, and this one to watch her create these beeeautiful polar bears!
Festive Glam & Merry Metallics
Keen to create the ultimate festive glam? We’re thinking a touch of class, and a bit of boujee! Cupcakes gilded with warm luxurious gold touches, sparkles galore for a true glam Christmas. It's all about classic whites, muted tones and metallics.
These cupcakes and chocolate treats by @bake.works totally sum up this vibe - watch her create them here! The classic combination of gold and white looks effortlessly luxurious. The key here? Keep the colour palette simple. Consider every element, right down to the sprinkles - these pearls and snowflakes from FunCakes are perfection!
Not a fan of gold? No problem! The aim is to bake it your way, so why not try the same style but in beautiful blush tones? With the right finish (metallics and lustres for that opulent feel) it will be just as glam.
We hope these styles have given you some inspo to bake it your way this Christmas! We'd love to know which of the options is the most you. Comment and let us know, or, better yet - bake up a storm and tag us in your Instagram posts using #CakeDecFamous!
