don't let a December birthday get
0:01
swallowed by Christmas or Hanukah or New
0:04
Year's with these December birthday cake
0:06
ideas of course you can ignore the
0:08
December holidays completely and make a
0:10
standard birthday cake with piped Swirls
0:12
and cheerful sprinkles but you're not
0:14
watching this video for an obvious idea
0:16
like that if you want to incorporate
0:19
elements of December in a birthday cake
0:21
you'll prefer these next ideas zodiac
0:24
cakes are really trendy with catchy
0:26
messages combined with the Vintage or
0:28
lambath style of excessive piping using
0:31
different colors and different piping
0:33
tips to create elaborate designs the
0:35
link to my tutorial on Vintage cakes is
0:37
in the top of the screen and in the
0:38
video description check the zodiac
0:41
calendar because December birthdays
0:43
could be either Sagittarius or Capricorn
0:46
turn the birthday date into a joke with
0:48
this funny message using a small round
0:50
piping tip to pipe thin lines for the
0:52
letters here are some tips for piping
0:55
messages use a toothpick to scrape off
0:57
any lines you don't like which works
0:59
best if you chill the cake before piping
1:01
the message so the frosting is firm and
1:03
you won't damage it when you scrape the
1:05
message off if you pipe a whole word you
1:07
don't like it's quicker to use a cake
1:09
comb to scrape and lift off all of those
1:12
letters to fit a word into a gap or
1:15
space start with the middle letter and
1:17
work your way out to center it and to
1:20
make sure you can fit all of the letters
1:21
in leave piping borders until the end
1:25
because piping a message is much easier
1:27
when you don't have to worry about
1:28
knocking any piped borders with your
1:30
hands December birthday cake idea number
1:33
four blend Christmas with birthday Vibes
1:36
with this fun colorful design by piping
1:38
zigzags with a petal tip like a number
1:40
104 holding the wide part of the tip
1:43
against the cake with the pointed side
1:45
facing outwards it's quickest to pipe
1:47
all of the Trees of one color first but
1:50
then switch the piping tip to another
1:51
Piping Bag with the next color to pipe
1:54
all of those trees to get away from the
1:56
traditional Christmas feel incorporate
1:58
colors like blue and pink to make this
2:00
much more festive add sprinkles to make
2:02
it even more celebratory attaching them
2:05
now while the buttercream trees are
2:06
still soft and sticky for a low effort
2:09
cake that still delivers all of the
2:11
flavor bake your cake in an ovenproof
2:13
dish and after it cools decorate it
2:16
right there in the dish you can pipe the
2:18
frosting on or spread it and smooth it
2:21
or combine both make a calendar showing
2:24
that this birthday is an important date
2:26
even though Christmas decorations have
2:27
been everywhere since September and this
2:30
tray bake cake will be just as
2:31
effortless to serve as it was to make
2:34
focus on winter with a buttercream
2:36
carving where you cover a cake with a
2:38
crumb coat and then another layer of
2:40
frosting let it chill and set in the
2:42
fridge for at least an hour and then add
2:44
another color on top or several colors
2:46
like with this watercolor style I teach
2:48
watercolor frosting in my free online
2:50
course 10 frosting techniques which
2:53
you'll find on British gal bak.rr.com
2:59
a specialized tool like this clay
3:02
modeling tool you can buy on Amazon or
3:04
you can use a tool you probably already
3:05
have a petal-shaped piping tip dipping
3:08
the metal into warm water before carving
3:11
will give you the neatest results but
3:12
make sure you dry it off before you use
3:14
it because dripping water onto the cake
3:16
can make the colors run December
3:18
birthday cake idea number seven use
3:21
seasonal ingredients in your cake for
3:23
example eggnog like in this cake with
3:25
decadent eggnog filling and frosting and
3:27
the recipe for this is on British gal
3:29
bakes Com or Blitz some peppermints and
3:32
add them to cream cheese buttercream for
3:33
a delicious filling between cake layers
3:36
make a December figure cake like a
3:38
gingerbread man or snowman or reindeer
3:40
this is my best chocolate buttercream
3:42
for frosting the cake and also covering
3:44
up two halves of an Oreo cookie with a
3:46
toothpick stuck in the middle of each
3:48
half the antlers are made out of melted
3:50
chocolate piped through a Ziploc bag
3:52
with a hole cut off the corner use a
3:54
wooden skewer so that after they set you
3:57
can poke them into the cake the face is
3:59
r really easy to do with shapes cut out
4:01
of parchment or wax paper and I'm using
4:04
a petal piping tip to carve out a smile
4:06
add white details to the eyes with plain
4:09
white buttercream in a Piping Bag with a
4:10
medium round piping tip or use a Ziploc
4:13
bag with a corner cut off pipe some more
4:15
chocolate buttercream for fur and to
4:17
make this more of a birthday cake you
4:19
could add a party hat number nine
4:21
embrace the season with a cake version
4:24
of a gingerbread house admittedly this
4:26
has nothing to do with birthdays but I'm
4:28
sure your time and effort will be
4:30
appreciated from carving the cake to
4:32
frosting and decorating it and if the
4:34
person loves cake then I'm sure they
4:36
won't mind what shape it is for a New
4:38
Year's Eve birthday make this fun party
