12 Days of Christmas Ideas 2014 – Day 3

Christmas is synonymous with entertaining and when is come to entertaining I think there is nothing better than a simple way to create a delightful and memorable experience for my guests.  These beautiful Mini Layered Cakes are one of those ways.

To make these amazing little cakes all you need is a flat cake (approx. 4cm deep), a yummy icing or filling and a round cookie cutter (approx. 7cm diameter).  Use the cookie cutter to cut out rounds from the cake, then split them horizontally through the middle.  Add some of the filling to the middle and some on the top.  Then garnish to finish.

I have tired this idea here with a Red Velvet cake and Cream Cheese and Mascarpone Filling.  But I could also imagine it working well with a Chocolate brownie and Mascarpone cream or even a Chocolate Cake with a Ganache.  I’m sure the options are endless and if you came up with a good one we’d love to hear about it.
