Frosting makes a cake an occasion!

Sugarplum Tree

1 For centerpiece shape cardboard cone 15″ tall by 10″ in diameter at base, or for a dessert, bake cake in tiered pans, shaving sides for tree shape.

2 Frost with stiffly beaten Betty Crocker Fluffy White Frosting, saving 1 cup for Decorator Icing ([p. 9]).

3 Divide icing into 3 parts; tint in Christmas colors. Use #28 star tip for canes, #68 leaf tip in overlapping fashion for wreaths, and #96 flower tip for stars.

4 To shape decorations by hand: Add enough sifted confectioners’ sugar for easy handling. Use your own ideas.
