Santa Claus Cake Tutorial | Christmas Fondant Cake | Step by Step Holiday Decorating

Hey there!
Let's make this adorable Santa Claus cake that's perfect for your Christmas celebrations. This tutorial shows you how to create a fun 3D Santa design that'll be the star of any holiday party.
We're working with vanilla cake layers that get carved and shaped into Santa's face and body, then covered with red fondant for his suit. The magic happens when you add that fluffy white beard texture using royal icing or buttercream pushed through a garlic press, create his cute face with fondant features, and top it all off with that signature red Santa hat. I'll walk you through carving the dome shape, getting smooth fondant coverage on a rounded cake, creating that realistic beard texture that actually looks fluffy, sculpting the hat with proper support so it doesn't collapse, and adding all those little details like the black belt, white trim, and snowflake patches.
This design looks complicated but it's actually pretty manageable once you break it down into steps. The hardest part is probably getting that beard texture right and making sure the hat stays put, but I'll show you the tricks to make both work.
Perfect for Christmas parties, holiday gatherings, or when you want to create something that makes everyone smile. Kids especially love this one, and honestly, it tastes as good as it looks.
