Christmas Ribbon Candy Ruffle Cake

Monday, December 24, 2012 by Darla

Ribbon Candy Ruffle Cake by BakingdomI made you guys a super simple, ultra festive, sweet-tooth-satisfying cake for Christmas.

But then I ate it all. Sorry.

Well, I shared some with the Hubster and the kiddo. but it still all got eaten.

So you know all those gorgeous ruffle cakes we see everywhere? Like this one? Or this one? Or even these mini ones I made? Well that’s all this is. A lovely, ruffly, Christmasy version of all of those.

I was inspired when I went to this little market down the street from our house. They had beautiful Christmas candies on display, and I was instantly drawn to the ribbon candy. Then a lightbulb went off, and voila! A pretty ruffled and ribboned Christmas candy cake.

Since it’s the holidays, and things are always frilly and decadent during the holidays, I brought the buttercream ribbon candy over the top of the cake, tapering it off as it came towards the center.

Christmas Ribbon Candy Ruffle Cake by BakingdomI say it all the time, but I really mean it, this is so crazy easy and stupid fast. Depending on the cake recipe you use, there’s no reason you have to spend all day making it. A quick recipe or a boxed mix make this come together quick, but I do recommend homemade frosting; mostly because it’s delicious, but also because it holds together far better than canned frosting.

Enjoy, and merry Christmas and happy holidays, my friends!!

I’m ready for new adventures, new memories, more kindness, and lots of healing in 2021. Among so many things I want for you, I’m especially wishing you belly laughs, abundant pleasure, endless excitement, and great food in the new year. Cheers and  happy New Year, my friends!
I always knew that I would be bounding as Olaf tod I always knew that I would be bounding as Olaf today because he is the epitome of a happy character. But it’s not just Olaf...I’m also bounding today as @joshgad, in a roundabout way, because Josh has brought so much joy and compassion to people. Yes, with his portrayal of Olaf (and so many other characters), but also, and mainly, as himself. He’s such a joyful and kind person, it has been a pleasure laughing and crying along with him, and Olaf, this year. Thank you, sir, for making my 2020 more magical and joyful than it would have been without you!

I couldn’t pick just a Remy quote for today because the one by Chef Gusteau is one of my favorites from any movie. I think it’s clear from several of my other bounds this month that food is one of my love languages, and Remy and Gusteau totally get it.
