Peppermint Stick and Holly leave Cake

Holly Leaf Cake
For this holly cake I used a buttercream frosting with sugar crystals. The peppermint sticks were rolled buttercream with peppermint flavoring and the leaves were royal icing.. for the texture of the leaves I painted the royal icing onto mint leaves and removed the leaves when hardened.
You can also make the holly leaves from gum paste colored green. Roll out the gum paste, use a holly leaf cutter, and then press the leaf into a veiner. Let the gum paste leaf dry on crumpled aluminum foil to create a natural curve to the leaf.
Another option for the royal icing leaves is just to pipe them with the leaf tip and let them dry.
