 Categories: Cakes
      Yield: 12 Servings
 
      3 c  All-purpose flour
  1 1/4 c  Sugar
      2 ts Baking powder
    1/2 ts Baking soda
    3/4 ts Salt
      3    Eggs
    3/4 c  Orange juice
    1/2 c  Unsalted butter; melted
      1 c  Cranberries;
           - thaw if frozen
      1 c  Walnuts; chopped
           Glaze (recipe follows)
           Cinnamon red candies or
           - cranberries; for garnish
 
  Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and flour 12-cup ring mold or Bundt
  pan.

  Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in large
  bowl. Make a well in center. Add eggs, orange juice, and butter to
  well; stir liquid ingredients just until blended.

  Add cranberries and walnuts to well. Stir together liquid and dry
  ingredients just until combined. Spread batter in prepared pan.

  Bake in preheated 350°F oven for 45 to 50 minutes or until wooden
  pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes.
  Remove wreath from pan and cool completely.

  Spread top of cake with 1 cup glaze as pictured. Tint remaining
  1 cup glaze with green paste food coloring. If too thin for piping,
  stir in a little more 10x sugar. Spoon tinted glaze into pastry bag
  fitted with small round tip. Pipe on pine branches as pictured.
  Decorate with candies ro cranberries and red bow, if you wish.

  Glaze:

  Gradually stir 3 to 4 teaspoons milk into 2 cups of 10x
  (confectioners') sugar in a small bowl until smooth and a good
  glazing consistency.

  Yield: 2 Cups

  Note:

  It looks from the picture that the white glaze is spread over the
  top and let run down the sides. Holly leaves are made on top with
  the green and then garnished with either the cinnamon red candies
  or cranberries.
