It is no secret that I absolutely love Christmas and designing this years range of Christmas cakes was pure joy for me.
Buttercream Bakery's signature Christmas cake range was inspired by dolls house miniatures, which I am slightly obsessed with and beautiful winter wonderland scenes.
14cm Miniature Gingerbread House Christmas Cake.
The tiny gingerbread house is as detailed as any fairytale gingerbread house you ever read about in story books. The windows have wooden shutters, the snow covered roof is dotted with chocolate bars, candy canes, Christmas puddings, lollipops, Holly leaves and wrapped sweets.
The house is entirely surrounded by candy too, it's like a Christmas dream! ; )
Next up is a favourite of mine...
10cm Miniature Bears In The Wood Christmas Cake
Three little bears walking in the woods, on their way to post a letter to Santa, stop to throw snow balls among the snowy peaked Christmas trees. Ah isn't it the sweetest!
This one really is my miniature masterpiece, each bear is around 1-2cm tall and the entire cake is a perfectly individually sized 10cm.
At Buttercream Bakery our tiny bears are just as detailed as our cupcake bears, these little guys even have cute Santa hats.
14cm Christmas Dessert Table Christmas Cake
Finally our adorable miniature Christmas dessert table cakes come complete will all of your favourite Christmas desserts, Christmas Pudding, Christmas Cake, Christmas Cupcakes and a Chocolate Log.
The table is decorated with bows, Christmas crackers & candy canes.
I hope looking at our Christmas cakes makes you all feel as Christmasy as I do right now! I literally cannot wait and already have some Christmas bakes to post. x

Wow you never fail to amaze me!! The teeny tiny gingerbread house is the cutest ever. All those itty bitty details, how do you do it. Gosh I love this time of year, I cant wait for more of your Christmas bakes.
The details on those are amazing. Really lovely :) Do you do your designs on dummy cakes first? I never seem to find the time at the moment! Just baked some christmas cakes today though. My house smelt very festie :D
How lovely! The gingerbread house reminds me of a Christmas-version of Katy Perry's candyland. I love the detailing on the Christmas table; the Bûche de Noël, the cupcakes... so pretty!
Yes, I remembered your birthday was in November and that you're a Scorpio as well :) I'm surprised sometimes by my own memory :) Mine's the 17th :) Happy belated birthday!!! Sounds like you had a great one!
Hello, I am Sue from Malaysia. I really love your figurines and I think your cakes are marvelous. I am new in using fondant and modelling paste and I wanted to ask you why my gum paste looks very dry and have little cracks when they dry. If you don't mind, can you give me some tips?
Hi Sue,
Thanks so much for your kind comments!
In answer to your question gum paste is designed to dry very quickly it can often crack especially if your are not super fast or move/change the shape whilst the piece is drying. Do you use shortening as you work? This will help.
Also using a mixture of half gum paste and half fondant can be much easier to work with.
It could simply be that you are not kneading the gum paste enough before you start working with it, so make extra sure.
I definitely recommend using half and half gum paste and fondant or even for many models sugar paste instead as long as the design is not too tall/thin/fragile. I hope this helps and let me know how it goes. x
Thank you very much. I will try what you suggested and will tell you how it turn out. Thanks again.
