Very Merry Christmas Cake Supplies
There are just a few simple supplies you will need for this Christmas village cake. I used premade cookie dough for this recipe, but if you have extra time you could definitely make your own dough following this sugar cookie recipe for perfectly shaped cookies.
Here is what you will need:
- Sugar Cookie Dough
- Iced Cake
- Village Templates
- Food Coloring
- Icing
I love the fun pop of colors and festive flair it adds to the dessert table. Plus it’s an extra sweet touch to have cookies as part of your cake dessert. You can use any recipe for your cake, like a fun gingerbread, or just a classic chocolate recipe. There are so many different options, but I love the idea of using a festive spiced cake or something Christmas-y!
How To Make A Christmas Village Cake
This village cake is SUPER easy to make, and only takes a few easy steps.
- First, you want to take your sugar cookie dough and split into 3 equal parts.
- Add food coloring and chill.
- Roll out your cookie dough and use the village template to cut out these cute cutouts.

A Few Christmas Village Cake Tips
When making this cake, I learned a couple tips and tricks to make it easier!
- If your cookies expand during the baking process, just take a sharp knife and trim up the edges a few minutes out of the oven. The cookies will be hot, so be careful but this will ensure clean straight lines!
- Let your cookies completely cool before icing or attaching to your cake.
- I like to use royal icing when decorating these cookies, I just like the taste of it better. If you don’t know how to use royal icing, check out these tips.
