Now that you have all your ingredients, let's get started on making this beautiful 2 tier Christmas cake!

Instructions:

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 8-inch round cake pans.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate large bowl, cream the butter until smooth. Add in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the milk and vanilla extract. Slowly add in the dry ingredients and mix until well combined.

Step 2: Pour the batter into the prepared cake pans and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cakes cool completely before removing them from the pans.

Step 3: While the cakes are cooling, make the frosting. In a large bowl, cream the butter until smooth. Gradually add in the confectioner's sugar, vanilla extract, and milk, mixing until light and fluffy. Add in a few drops of green food coloring to achieve a light green color for the frosting.

Step 4: Once the cakes are completely cooled, use a serrated knife to level off the tops and create a flat surface. Place one cake on a cake stand or serving platter and spread a layer of frosting on top. Place the second cake on top and cover the entire cake with the remaining frosting.

Step 5: Roll out the fondant on a clean surface and use the cookie cutters to cut out various Christmas shapes. Carefully place the fondant decorations on top of the cake, using a small amount of frosting to help them stick if necessary. Sprinkle edible glitter and pearls on top for a festive touch.

And there you have it, a stunning 2 tier Christmas cake that is sure to wow your guests. This recipe can also be easily modified to make a single tier cake or cupcakes for smaller gatherings. Happy baking and happy holidays!
