Easy Holiday Cake Trio—Perfect for Little Helpers
Welcome to my first Mommy Collaboration project—featuring wildly, talented Mommies and their craft. There is no better way to kick this off, than to feature the lovely Dominique Jessee @twobunsbaking who helped me dream up our Easy Holiday Cake Trio—Perfect for Little Helpers. (Translation: she baked, while I styled, shot and sampled the frosting.)
Dominique is an amazing friend, baker, wife, mommy and event-planner-turned-SAHM. Baking is her happy place, especially now that she is teaching her son Noah to bake. We had so much fun collaborating, that when photo shoot day came, I couldn't wait to get into the kitchen with them.
The Trio
Bake one cake, bake them all! These are 6” petite cakes, serving 8 slices each. These are versatile enough you can bake them as cupcakes if you are tight on time. Cakes and frostings can be made and refrigerated in advance, per frosting instructions provided. Enjoy!

Easy Recipes (that even Orange Mommy can Bake)
Let’s be honest. I don’t bake. I have friends who bake, (They bake, I eat. It’s a beautiful thing.) For this cake trio, Dominique simplified the steps, starting with Betty Crocker cake mixes, so even I can bake these cakes for my holiday dessert table. For you lovely Mommy Bakers who don’t have time to bake this year, embrace the box! These flavors will not disappoint. We’ve included frosting techniques that will get you plated and back to your holiday. Lastly, these cakes are simple enough for little helpers. You can keep checking off your holiday to-do list, and give your kids a great baking activity in the kitchen. We say, double win.

I hope you will enjoy baking this trio, as much as we had creating it. Many thanks to Dominique and her son for jumping into collaboration with Orange Mommy + Co. And many thanks to our tiny production crew.
