Instructions
Prepare cake mix according to directions. Use pan grease and brush to reach tiny crevices of mold and prevent sticking. Bake. Allow cake to cool. Spread generous amount of buttercream on one side of cake and press against other side. Hold on to the top of cake and place carefully on cooling rack. Reserve a small amount of icing and thin the rest with water until a smooth glaze consistency. Color with green coloring. Pour icing over cake, avoiding top star area. Spread thick royal icing on cake board and carefully stand cake up, pressing into icing on the board. Thin down additional royal icing and color it yellow. Pour a small amount over star and use a paint brush to spread yellow and fully cover star. After icing has dried use a paint brush and dust green luster dust on tree and gold on star. Use a #2 tip and red, green, yellow, and white buttercream to pipe on candles and candy canes. Attach candy coated chocolates using a small dot of buttercream.
