Holiday Cake.

Presentation I feel sells a product, especially food.  That is why for the most part I will go for cupcakes instead of a cake because once you cut a cake, I feel it gets sloppy.  Call me OCD, aha. But this is a cake made over Christmas Break that didn't turn out too shabby.



So this is a Red Velvet Cake with cream cheese icing with chocolate and butterscotch tree molds.  SUPER easy and looks FANTASTIC.  I took it to my family Christmas and it was a hit.  It looks tasty so therefore people want to try it!

I am not a baker who is against using boxed cake mixes.  But I do make a few slight changes.  Instead of water use milk, add an extra egg or two and then instead of oil use butter! The left overs just continued to get better and better the next few days! And it works with any cake mix not just red velvet:)

To make the molds just take chips, melt them and then on parchment paper or wax paper make trees! For those living on a penny, such as my college self here, I can't afford to buy piping bags so I use ziplock baggies for icing or making molds and you can even melt the chips in the bag! Once it is melted, snip off an end and pipe them out!
