Holiday Insta-Inspiration!
No more swapping old butter stained recipe cards, stalking bake sales and elbowing fellow bakers away from the discount recipe book bin at Ye Olde Book Shoppe. We've got the interwebs now and if we want inspiration, we do it the NEW fashioned way... In our jammies staring at our phones. Is it better? That's a debate for some other day. Today we're talking Insta-Inspiration. So here are 14 wicked sweet goodies we found on Instagram utilizing some of our Evil Genius stuff. We've even included products below to help you get the look. Enjoy!
#1) Holy Balls!
What's not to love about this gem by Wonderful Whitty Cakes? We've got glittery balls, edible snowflakes, silver dragees and nummy nums buttercream.

#2) Grinchy Cupcakes
Tall Girl Bakes' heart grew 3 sizes the day she figured out how easy it is to emboss the Grinches face for these cupcake toppers! If they show "out of stock" it's because either the Grinch stole them or we're selling a lot of them. Don't worry, more are on the way!

#3) Gingerbread House Cake
Is saying "Gingerbread House Cake" a contradiction or an oxymoron? One thing's for sure, it's edible and me want forky to start feeding mouthy. Let's leave semantics to those better equipped. Now that The Girl Who Let Them Eat Cake inspired you, get equipped to make your own!

#4) Rustic Deer Cookies
Laura's Sweeterie did all the heavy lifting for us here by knocking these cookies outta the park and then taking an Insta worthy snap. Our Rustic Deer Stencil set has never looked better. Oh, also, need a perfect cookie recipe? No worries, it's right here!

#5) Nordic Sweater Cake
Did you know... we have a few holiday stencils that are designed to line up perfectly with our striped stainless contour combs? Tall Girl Bakes sure did. She always makes our products look good and inspires us, hopefully she inspired you too. So to sum up: Make a sweet sweater and watch Uncle Bob (who sweats when he eats) be a sweater while he eats a sweater cake and wears a sweater. Nothing could be sweeter.

#6) Fancy Pants Peanut Butter Cups
La Belle Farine had us at "peanut butter cups" but then took it a step further and made them look buttacular.. no, no, wait... cuptacular? Nah. Well, they look and taste damn good. Pealicious? Pea-utiful? Nope. Anyway, these will be the first goodie to go at any get together this year.

#8) Son of a Nutcracker! It's Cake Popsicles!
Like lots of treats you see on Instagram, these Cake Popsicles by Coco Peony are almost too pretty to eat. But of course, NOTHING is EVER too pretty to eat. Maybe try these with some friends and a little of that mail room maple syrup. It's a Buddy approved combo.

#9) Christmas Sweater Cake
Another Tall Girl Bakes beauty with our Sweater Cake Stencil designed to line up perfectly with a striped stainless contour comb. If you can find a sweater that looks as good as this cake it would make a fine present for the aforementioned sweaty Uncle Bob. He could use a little a lot of classing up.

#10) Cookies for Santa
Make these and Santa will munch down a couple at the fireplace, grab a few for his reindeer and save one for the North Pole to let Mrs. Claus know she needs to up her cookie game. He'll also probably leave you a little something extra under the tree this year. Aaaaah... We see what you did there Short N Sweet Cakes. Genius.

#11) Advent Calendar Cookies
Time to ditch those grocery store advent calendars with the cheesy art and chocoate treats that taste like three parts candle wax, two parts preservative and one part brown flavoring. Okay, confession, those are awesome. BUT these are awesomer, and who says you can't do BOTH? That's right, when you're an adult you get to do both. Take that Mom! Thanks for the inspiration to do BOTH Sugar Fix Creations!

#12) Gold Metallic Deer & Snowflakes Cake
Methinks I might starting eating this from the top down. Genius idea Ashley's Cakes and Confections had putting French Macs as a little amuse bouche on top of this classy holiday cake. Thanks for the reminder that not ALL holiday treats need to be red & green. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

#13) Striped Christmas Tree Cake
Wonderful Whitty Cakes here with another great use of our cake stencil and striped comb combo. This glittery pastel Christmas Tree Cake is so perfectly cute I think I want to hug it. Oh, you can you hug a cake. Yep. It makes 'em feel wanted. Very important.

#14) Rudolph Cake
We did NOT see that coming! A Sprinkle On Top in a rare departure from their modus operandi did a sprinkle on the side as well as on the top. Throw in an embossed Rudolph face, a little edible metallic paint and some perfectly piped buttercream and what you have here is a quintessential Christmas Cake. This cake is so perfect even Santa showed up for the photo shoot, and you ALL know how busy that guy is.
