Copycat Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes

Ingredients

Cake

• 1 box white cake mix
• Ingredients listed on box

Filling:

• 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
• 2 teaspoons vanilla
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1/2 cup marshmallow cream

Decoration:

• 3 cups white candy coating
• 2 tablespoons shortening optional
• Green sanding sugar or other candy decoration
• Red cookie icing pouch

Instructions

1. Heat the oven to 350° and Line 2 9×13-inch pans with parchment paper. Spray with cooking spray.
2. Make the cake according to the package directions. Divide evenly between the two pans and bake for 15 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
3. Cool the cakes completely.
4. Using a Christmas tree cookie cutter cut as many trees out as you can. If the cakes are thick, cut them in half horizontally. If the cakes are thin, you will use 2 cakes to make 1 cake.
5. Beat the whipping cream and vanilla together until thick, then add the powdered sugar and beat until combined. Add the marshmallow cream and combine.
6. Spread a large spoon of filling over one side of the cake, then top with the other side. When all the trees have filling, freeze for 2 hours.
7. Melt the candy coating and shortening together and using a fork, dip the trees until coated on all sides. Tap any extra coating from the cakes.
8. While the icing is still soft, sprinkle with green sugar.
9. When all the cakes are coated and dried, pipe lines over the trees.
