This Christmas ‘Snow Globe’ Woolies/Coles Mud Cake Hack is the best thing you’ll see today

You won’t believe how she did it - AND how cheap it was! - by Hannah Oakshott
  • 22 Nov 2018

With Christmas fast approaching, we’re VERY excited to see what the clever mums over at the Woolies/Coles Mudcake Hacks Facebook group whip up this festive season. 

But it seems one very clever home cook has set the bar very high already with this sensational ‘Snow Globe’ Christmas hack, which has been featured on the group’s awesome social media page. 

This Christmas ‘Snow Globe’ Woolies/Coles Mud Cake Hack is the best thing you’ll see today

Kerri Stan created this amazing masterpiece with her sister, using 3 Woolies mud cakes and - wait for it - a $6 round vase from a variety store, along with snowflakes and figurines from budget Christmas stores. 

Kerri goes on to explain to fellow Woolies/Coles Mudcake Hacks followers that after placing the mud cakes on top of one another, with buttercream in between, they went to work securing the globe to the top. 

Stage one of the masterpiece!

‘We used four pieces of dowel to support the globe vase,’ Kerri explained on the page. ‘I purchased it for $6 from a variety store and mounted it on a small cake circle on top of the 3 stacked cakes.’

Kerri and her sister used a simple butter cream mixed with two drops of royal blue gel dye for the outside of the cake, before decorating it with $5 snowflakes purchased from a Christmas store. 

The finished masterpiece!

Inside snow globe, Kerri used a $1 Santa figurine from a local op shop, some more decorations and white cushion wadding to complete the masterpiece. And all we can say is ‘Wow!’

Kerri described the cake as ‘quite a showstopper’ - we’re not surprised! - and it earnt a big round of applause from her Woolies/Coles Mudcake Hacks peers.

‘This is brilliant!’ wrote one, while another said: ‘What a clever idea! This would be perfect for a Christmas party or on chrissie day ! Looks great too!’

One more wrote: ‘I’m totally stealing this idea at Christmas!’

You and me both! And for more amazing ideas, make sure you head over to the Woolies/Coles Mudcake Hacks Facebook group - you won’t be disappointed!
