Pretty Festive

I love the look of a bundt cake for entertaining. It takes any cake to a new level and the frosting options are endless. From swirly to slathered any option works and its easy to make look great.

For this holiday season I created a thankful banner for a festive treat. I've included the PDF file below for you to make too. I printed on white card stock and cut out the pieces.

Then I punched 1/4" holes on the top of the pieces and threaded baker's twine through each hole. I tied the ends to skewers et voila!

Easy Holiday Dessert Recipe

My carrot pecan bundt cake comes together so easily. I've made it after school when kids are bouncing around avoiding homework and I've made it on quite Sundays. Either way, it's a 2 bowl recipe that's easy to mix and easy to clean up.

Open to Interpretation

The base batter of this cake is so nice that it welcomes all types of new flavors and creativity. Add cranberries, raisins, zucchini (dry well!), chocolate chips and so much more.

The carrot and pineapple make it super moist, which can sometimes be a challenge with a bundt cake.

Thankful Cake Topper Banner

Add my cake topper that is easy to make. While you're mixing, have the kids cut out the pieces and you'll have 45 minutes of bake time to assemble your Thankful cake topper banner.

I keep a stack of white card stock next to our printer so I never have to think about supplies and can add these festive treats to lots of our baked goods.
