Among the many beautiful Christmas fairy tales, we’ve tried to write one ourselves this year. We’ve taken inspiration from the famous fawn, and we assure you it will have a delicious ending! Our recipe, fairy if you will, is titled woodland cake of panettone, a reinterpretation of the famous and spectacular American naked cake. Inspired by the simplicity and enchanting beauty of the woods, we thought of this that can adorn the table and make it truly beautiful. So, we started with the basamento made of panettone, the symbolic Christmas cake, filled it with delicious orange marmalade and indulgent mascarpone cream. But what makes the woodland cake unforgettable is the addition of meticulous decorative details. What are you waiting for to recreate this imaginative and equally delicious forest yourself? It will also be perfect for New Year’s and you can be sure to surprise all your guests… without telling fairy tales!

the meantime, take care of the panettone. We chose an 18 cm diameter panettone, so there is very little waste since the apice will be discarded (you can reuse it to make some delicious cake pops). Proceed with the cuts using a serrated knife: first, make superficial incisions every 1.18 inches around the panettone, which will serve as a guide during the cutting.
