Elegant Reindeer Christmas- Cake Decorating- Buttercream

White and Blue add such a soft Wintery look. I just love a winter celebration cake. With White And Blue And Reindeer this design can take you right through New Year.

.

The Piping Technique on this cake is called "over piping" and is a salute to the Lameth Method, indicated by many many layers of piped borders. Many combination of borders are a hallmark of this style. It's time consuming, but well worth the effort.

The Reindeer are made with Candy Melt, but could easily be made with Royal Icing as well. The Candy Melt is a quick and easy way to use this technique and yummy as well!
