There is nothing better than beautiful & easy cakes for the holidays!
White Christmas Cake with two simple recipes
Fluffy white cake layers and buttercream with all natural decor that is just so stunning!
Typically I make 7″ cakes with 3 layers
But for the holidays I always go with 2 layer 8″ cakes!
The hardest part about this entire cake is picking out the best sliced almonds to make the pine cones!
So be forewarned you will need about an hour to do that part!

Chocolate lovers don’t forget I have this exact cake in double chocolate fudge too!
