# Components:
→ Cake
01 - 1 large store-bought plain sheet cake (approx. 9x13 inches, vanilla or chocolate)
→ Filling
02 - 1 cup cold heavy cream
03 - 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
04 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
→ Decorations
05 - 1 1/2 cups ready-to-spread vanilla or chocolate frosting
06 - Assorted colored gel food coloring
07 - Assorted holiday sprinkles, mini candies, and edible decorations
08 - 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)
# Directions:
01 - In a chilled bowl, whip heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
02 - Remove the cake from packaging and trim edges if necessary to form a neat rectangle. Place on parchment paper and level the top by slicing off any dome. With the short side facing you, carefully roll the cake with parchment into a log, then unroll to create a memory for easier rolling.
03 - Spread the whipped cream filling evenly over the cake surface, leaving a 1-inch border. Sprinkle mini chocolate chips if using. Roll the cake from the short end tightly using parchment paper as a guide. Wrap in parchment and refrigerate at least 30 minutes for firm slicing.
04 - Divide frosting into bowls and tint each with different gel colors for sweater patterns. Spread a base layer over the roll. Pipe designs such as zigzags, dots, and lines with piping or zip-top bags. Add sprinkles, candies, and edible decorations for a festive effect.
05 - Cut into 1-inch slices and serve.
