Steps:
- CHOCOLATE CAKE:.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Prep three 8 x 2 inch round cake pans by spritzing with vegetable oil and lining with parchment paper circles.
- Sift the flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, and salt into the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment and mix on low speed until combined.
- In another bowl, combine the buttermilk, oil, eggs, and vanilla.
- With the mixer on low speed, slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry. With mixer still on low, add the coffee and stir just to combine, scraping the bottom of the bowl with a rubber spatula.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pans and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, until a cake tester comes out clean.
- Cool in the pans for 30 minutes, then turn them out onto a cooling rack and cool completely.
- PINK PEPPERMINT BUTTERCREAM:.
- Cover the bowl of your stand mixer with the ingredients inside with a damp tea towel. In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the butter, icing sugar and peppermint extract until light and fluffy, about two minutes. Remove and reserve an 1/8 cup of buttercream to tint green for piped leaves. Tint the rest of the buttercream with the pink gel colour - beat the colour into the buttercream until shade achieved, about twenty seconds.
- To build the cake:.
- Frost and layer your cakes. Add a small dollop of buttercream to a cake board or cake plate. Place the first cake layer on top, pressing gently to adhere. Using an offset spatula, apply a generous layer of buttercream to the layer. Place the second layer on top of the first. Add another layer of buttercream. Finally, place the third layer on top and press gently to adhere. Frost the entire exterior of the cake, using a cake bench scraper or offset set spatula to smooth.
- Fill a large 18 inch piping bag with a large multi-opening grass tip, such as Wilton #234, with the remainder of the pink peppermint buttercream.
- Begin piping lines of "fur" on the outside of the cake. Hold piping bag at a 90 degree angle against the cake and squeeze piping bag and pull away, creating a short "spurt" of fur. Cover the entire cake with fur. Practice the piping method first on a plate or piece of parchment paper, then move to the cake once you feel comfortable.
- Make the fondant pieces: using commercial store-bought fondant, with clean and completely dry hands, mold the antler pieces and the triangular ears. Place wooden skewers cut to size into the bottoms of the antlers and ears and set aside to firm up.
- Make the face - roll fondant to ¼ inch thick, then using a circular cookie cutter or glass, punch out a circle shape and gently coax it into an oval shape using your fingers. Set aside. Using black fondant, make a nose and a smiley face. Make the eyes by rolling a 1 inch piece into a ball, flattening it gently and cutting off the bottom to curve it.
- Use a very tiny amount of water to stick the black nose and smile to the white face piece. Let dry.
- Apply the fondant to the cake! Decide what the front of your cake will be. Then, gently press the face piece and eyes into the buttercream to create the face. Place the ears and antlers into the top. Pipe fur around the ears.
- Optional: add drop stars, sprinkles and piped leaves! Add a little remaining pink buttercream into a small bowl and add a few more drops of pink gel colour to darken. Place into a piping bag fitted with an open star tip.
- Colour the reserved buttercream with a little green gel colour for leaves. Place the green buttercream into a piping bag fitted with a leaf piping tip.
- Pipe drop stars and leaves along the antlers and ears, adding a few sprinkles here and there for colour and festive sparkle!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line cups with paper liners.
- Combine 9 tablespoons butter, white sugar, and vanilla extract in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Add eggs one at a time and beat until well combined. Fold in half the flour and 1/4 cup milk and stir to combine. Repeat with remaining flour and milk. Spoon batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each 3/4 full.
- Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 18 minutes.
- Remove tin from oven and cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Remove cupcakes from the tin and cool completely on a wire rack before decorating, about 1 hour.
- Combine confections' sugar, 1 tablespoon butter, and 1 tablespoon milk in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Thin frosting with a little milk or water, if necessary. Add food coloring and stir until frosting is uniformly brown. Add more food coloring, 1 drop at a time, until frosting is the color you like.
- Spread a thin layer of frosting on top of each cupcake. Break vanilla cookies in half. Place a cookie half on each cupcake as a mouth. Use a bit of frosting to "glue" a jelly bean onto the cookie for Rudolph's red nose. Stick 2 candy eyeballs into each cupcake. Break off a piece from each pretzel so they look like antlers and stick 2 into the top of each cupcakes. Shape chewy candies into ears and stick 2 into the sides of each cupcake.

REINDEER CAKE
Steps:
- Separate the buttercream into 4 separate bowls (2 larger bowls and 2 smaller bowls). In one of the smaller bowls, use leaf green, chocolate brown, yellow and black gel colors to make a dark, evergreen color. In one of the larger bowls, use a few drops of yellow and chocolate brown gel colors to make a mocha color (lighter than the shade of brown fondant you have). In the other larger bowl, use chocolate brown and black gel colors to make a dark brown (darker than the shade of brown fondant you have). In the other smaller bowl, use red gel color to make a Christmas red color.
- Sprinkle your clean table with cornstarch. Knead your light brown/mocha fondant (similar to bread dough) until it is smooth. Using a rolling pin, roll the fondant so that it is approximately a 14-inch circle that's 1/4-to-1/2-inch thick. Sprinkle with cornstarch and roll onto the rolling pin. Unroll onto the top of the cake and smooth out the top and sides with a fondant smoother so that there are no air bubbles.
- Roll a thin snake of light brown/mocha fondant for the border of the cake.
- Make antlers: Roll modeling chocolate out to about 1 1/2 inches thick. Freehand cut 2 antler shapes. Slide a wooden skewer into each antler as far as it will go. Paint with edible gold paint.
- Make ears: Roll the leftover light brown/mocha fondant into 2 teardrop shapes. Use your thumb to indent the centers of each to create the ear shape. Place a toothpick or wooden skewer in the bottom of each one. Paint the center of each ear with edible gold paint.
- Take a small amount of black fondant and roll out a snake for each eye. Use smaller pieces to create the eyelashes. Accent eyelashes with edible gold paint.
- Create the mane by piping alternating rosettes down the center of the cake with the mocha and dark brown buttercream. Add smaller green shells and top each of those with a red holly berry bunch.
- Pipe a red nose below the eyes using a large plain tip.
- Add the antlers and the ears to the top of the cake.

Steps:
- Butter and line 3 x 15 or 16cm round tins (alternatively do the baking in batches if you only have one tin). Heat the oven to 170C/150C fan/gas 3.
- Gently melt the chocolate, butter and sugar together in a large microwave-safe bowl on medium heat for a minute at a time, stirring until melted or, set a bowl over a pan of simmering water. Leave to cool a little.
- Beat together the eggs with the vanilla and soured cream in a bowl. Sift the flour, cocoa and baking powder into another bowl and whisk to distribute. Stir the egg mix into the cooled melted chocolate, then fold in the flour mix and fold through until all the powder has disappeared.
- Spoon a third of the mixture into each tin (if you weigh the tins, you can get it perfectly even and your cakes will cook at the same rate and to the same height). Level off each thin layer with the back of a spoon.
- Bake until just cooked, so when a skewer poked into the centre of the sponge layer comes out with a few crumbs and the cakes are shrinking away from the tin a bit. This will take about 25-30 mins, but check after 20 to be safe as all ovens vary. Remove and cool in the tins on a wire rack, or on top of cold oven hob rings.
- Meanwhile, to make the ganache, microwave all the ingredients together in 30 sec bursts until they have all melted, stirring at each interval. Or melt everything together in a bowl set over a pan of simmering water. Cool to room temperature before adding to the buttercream.
- To make the buttercream, beat the butter and vanilla paste until pale and creamy. Gradually add the icing sugar, beating well between each addition. (Using unrefined sugar will give the buttercream a natural caramel flavour.) Beat in the cooled ganache.
- To make the antlers, combine the sugar and butter with the vanilla paste until amalgamated but not creamed. Add the egg and combine. Mix the flour with the spices then tip that in and mix to form a dough. Wrap in cling film and chill in the fridge to firm up for 20 minutes. Roll out on a floured surface to a 5/6mm thickness. Lay the template on the dough and cut around it using a small sharp knife - make two sets in case of breakages (any additional dough can be saved). Push the lolly sticks up into the bottom of the antlers and bake for around 15-20 mins until cooked through and golden. Allow to cool.
- Make the ears by pulling a little of the brown fondant icing off the block and kneading it with white fondant icing to make a pale brown. Roll the rest of the dark brown icing out thickly on a surface dusted with icing sugar. Roll the paler icing out thinly. Cut large teardrop shapes from the lighter icing to form the ears (about 6cm in size) and stick the lighter shape on top of the darker icing with a little water. Cut a larger teardrop around the lighter shape. Fold and pinch together at the base, push a cocktail stick into the bottom of each one and set aside to firm up.
- Trim the cakes flat if they have a little hump where they have been baked. Put the first layer onto a 16cm cake board and use a little of the chocolate frosting to secure it to the board. Spread frosting over the first layer then add layer two. Sandwich together by pressing gently and add another layer of frosting to this layer. For the last layer, take the sponge and invert it on top of the other two cakes, so that the smooth part of the cake - that was on the bottom of the tin -becomes the top. This will make it nice and neat. Spread a very thin layer of icing over the whole cake to crumb coat it and chill to set for about 30 mins.
- Add more buttercream to the cake to make a clean top coat - use a palette knife or side scraper to get a smooth finish (but do save a little of the buttercream for the final flourish). Mark out the eyes with a cutter so you can see where to add them. Roll little strips of black fondant icing for the eyes and lashes, then stick these onto the cake. Mould the nose with red fondant icing and stick it on with a cocktail stick, pushing one end into the nose and the other into the cake.
- For the little collar, roll out about 100g of green fondant icing on a surface dusted with icing sugar and cut a thin strip for the bow that will fit around the base of the cake. Stick the ends together with a little water, then make a bow by folding another thin strip and stick this onto the collar with another dab of water. Scoop the leftover buttercream into a bag with a large star nozzle. Pipe some fluffy reindeer hair on top of the cake, then add the ears and biscuit antlers, pushing them in gently but firmly.
