I made the tree part of this cake on the weekend and it was actually quite 'easy'. I thought I would have had some dramas however I didn't come across any issues at all which was good. It looks great. I just have to bake the cake and finish it off but I feel quite positive about it. I didn't use the separator plate as I don't have one and I couldn't find anywhere in Australia who sold them so I'll see how I go aassembling it. Either way the tree on it's own looks great so if the cake itself fails, at least I pulled the tree off!!!!

I made this cake last year for one of our Christmas'. The cake and candy were very easy to make, and it tasted pretty good. The tree is possibly easy, but it was difficult to find in stores so plan ahead and order it online. It is a heavier cake and you will need to support the tree/plate so it won't sink into your cake.

I love the look of this cake, mine didn't turn looking as cool, but it tasted just the same. The kids had a great time with their own christmas tress of chocolate (with adult supervision with this recipe. http://www.chefmorgan.com/chocolate-holiday-tree-sapin-de-noel-au-chocolat Thanks

I thought it was going to be difficult but for my surprise it was pretty easy well the best part was that everyone loved the cake I did it last year but I am sure I'm doing it again.

All that chocolate looks so delicious! I would like to see the little designs around the bottom in colored chocolates and not just cocoa just to give it a little extra!
