Cake and Eight – Nutcracker Ballet Edition

Create an enchanting Nutcracker-inspired dessert collection as you decorate a whimsical six-inch cake, eight coordinating cupcakes, and festive sugar cookie cake toppers inspired by the timeless holiday ballet.

What You'll Be Creating

Can't decide between cake, cupcakes, or cookies? Now you don't have to!

Each student will decorate:

• One 6-inch cake featuring elegant winter-inspired buttercream in soft shades of icy blue, blush pink, white, and silver, adorned with three Nutcracker Ballet-themed sugar cookie cake toppers that complete the design.

• Eight coordinating cupcakes decorated with beautiful holiday buttercream, festive sprinkles, and elegant seasonal accents to perfectly complement the cake.

We'll be working with rich butter vanilla cake and smooth, velvety Swiss meringue buttercream to bring your holiday creations to life.
