![]() ![]() Arrrrrr! The reason for this is that you really need something to cut that homemade taste and add a bit of artificialness to the cake. You may notice a bit of added… Christmas joy, perhaps? I mean, everything tastes better with “ …a little Captain in ’em!“. The homemade recipe that I am including worked very well for me. The boxed mixes were almost too moist, I think. I tried both boxed cake mix and homemade from scratch. You really can use any sturdy yellow cake recipe for this. After three unsuccessful batches (I may possibly be a slight perfectionist), I finally struck Christmas gold! How difficult could it be, right? Well……. I poked and prodded at each one, analyzing the sprinkles, the thin red ribbons of love that crossed the cakes, the fluffy filling and the base cake. ![]() Yes… several boxed of the real thing from the store. I, of course, started very scientifically by picking up…well… let’s just say several. However… The LA Kings cheated their way into a win, and I was stuck with only my tears and a demanding friend with a sweet tooth for victory.Ĭonsidering that we both have had multiple extended conversations about our love for Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes, I thought that I would venture into making my own tiny trees of joy to send to her for her extremely unexpected win. The bet was on! I didn’t even think about what I would make, because obviously I wouldn’t need to. BUT, that being said and both of us being baking fanatics, the prize would be a mailed box of one of our favorite creations. Ya… I know… I’m not sure why she would like them either. Since it is a freezing cold, slushy, snowy mess outside, there is nothing better to do than go to hockey games! I am a strong support and fan of our local Nashville Predators, and recently placed a bet with a friend that is for some reason an LA Kings super-fan. It’s a match made in confection heaven, really. She regularly has conversations with me about how many days away the Christmas Tree Cakes® release is. It’s Christmas time! What could that possibly mean more than boxes and boxes and boxes of Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes®?! These have been around since the 1960s, made still by a family-owned business right here in Tennessee! I wait all year for these beauties to show up at my local grocery store. ![]() You’ll have to excuse Debbie for not creating something truly special today – she’s never had a proper birthday cake herself.Tiny green sprinkles falling… Fluffy sweet fillings flowing… Peppermint-colored drizzles bouncing. If any subtle differences exist between the cakes themselves, they’re masked by the use of the same creme filling and coating that all of us know… and many of us love. The only noticeable difference between these and Zebra Cakes is the absence of fudge, and the only noticeable difference between these and Fancy Cakes is that this cake is a yellow one. And these particular sprinkles don’t impart a bit of extra flavor the way that some sprinkles do. But just like any of us could have predicted without writing 300 words on the matter, there’s not much novelty to Little Debbie Birthday Cakes outside of the sprinkles. Let me be clear that I am not using “shit” in a disparaging way- I do enjoy me some good ole’ Lil’ Deb pocket cakes now and again.
