Heston is sharing her expertise just in time for the 2023 holiday season, providing simple yet impressive decorating tips that anyone can follow. Here are her top suggestions to make your holiday baking truly memorable:
1. Edible Minty Tray: This easy and fun project starts with a bag of Starlight Mints from any grocery or dollar store. Unwrap the candies and arrange them in concentric circles on parchment paper placed in a round baking pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 3-5 minutes, being careful not to burn them. Once cooled, pop out your minty tray, perfect for showcasing cakes or Christmas cookies!
2. Christmas Tree Cake Decoration: Frost a cake with plain buttercream and top it with a sugar cone. Using a piping bag fitted with a small rosette tip, pipe buttercream rosettes from the base of the cone outward to mimic pine needles. Finish with candied pearls to resemble ornaments, creating a festive focal point.
3. Christmas Presents Cake: Transform a rectangular cake using pre-made fondant. Drape the fondant over the cake and add fondant ribbons. Cut out gift tags to place under the ribbons, and personalize them with edible markers to make each dessert special.
These creative ideas are not just desserts; they’re experiences meant to delight and surprise. Heston’s passion shines through every creation, reminding us that the heart of the holidays lies in sharing joy with loved ones.
