I made this cake a couple of weeks ago for the Chemistry Club’s “welcome to the start of winter term” potluck. Every year they have a Christmas potluck but this year for a couple of different reasons it had to be postponed until January.

I went with a simple winter design and it ended up suiting the day perfectly as we got hit with a snowstorm the day before. The bottom tier was eggnog cake, the middle tier was gingerbread cake and the top tier was hot chocolate cake because it was made to look like a mug of hot chocolate. A lot of the students couldn’t decide which flavor they wanted so took a piece of each! Lol.

As a side note, I’d like to thank Tanya Halas of Cake Heart Custom Cakes & Cupcakes for pointing me in the direction of Ellam Sugarcraft for the knit texture mold. This is my first time purchasing from them and the detail is crazy! You can even see the fiber details in it! They are also super great to do business with :-)
