******************************************************
You'll Need:
For the cakes:
- 4 eggs
- 1¼ cups sugar
- 2 sticks butter, room temperature
- 2 cups flour
- 1 pinch of baking soda
- red and green food coloring
- 2 round 6-inch cake pans
For the buttercream frosting:
- 2½ sticks butter, room temperature
- 1⅔ cups powdered sugar, sieved
- 1 cup cream cheese, room temperature
For the Christmas trees:
- 3 waffle cones
- melted dark chocolate
- gold and silver sugar pearls
- white fondant stars
Here's How:
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and beat the eggs and sugar until frothy. Add the flour, baking powder, and butter and mix until smooth. Divide the cake batter between 2 bowls.
2. Add green food coloring to one bowl and red food coloring to the other.
3. Pour the green cake batter into one greased cake pan, and the red cake batter into another greased cake pan and bake for 35-40 minutes.
4. Let the cakes cool, level off the tops, and cut off the baked brown crust surrounding the cakes. Cut both cakes in half horizontally so that you are left with 4 equal cake pieces. Use different sized round cookie cutters to cut the cake pieces into 3 circles.
5. Put the colorful cake rings back together, but alternate the colors, and stack one cake on top of the other.
6. Prepare the buttercream frosting, spread it over the cake, and refrigerate for 1 hour.
7. Level the open ends of the waffle cones so they are straight across. Dip the cones in melted chocolate, decorate with sprinkles and sugar pearls, top with fondant stars, and let the chocolate set.
8. Drizzle melted chocolate around the edge of the cake so that the chocolate flows down.
9. Top the cake with the chocolate Christmas trees.
Santa Claus sure won't be able to resist this colorful cake! You can find the recipe for the Zebra Christmas Cake featured in the bonus video here:

A Fantastic Feel Good Holiday Ad (Publix Christmas The Surprise)
Some things aren't always as they seem. When it comes to holiday ads, Publix nailed this one with a feel-good message that will resonate with almost anyone young or old. And here's another:
(If you have information on the agency and director, please let me know with the source.)
An OFW heartwarming surprise homecoming. No idea talaga ang mama. ????
Sineset-up sana ng ibang kapatid ang mama nila para sa restaurant sana sorpresahin ng ofw na anak, pero hindi pumayag dahil wala naman daw okasyon. Kaya napilitan na lang ang ofw na anak na umuwi at nagpanggap na buyer. Walang idea ang mama niya dahil ang buong alam ay hindi siya pinayagan ng kumpanya nila magbakasyon kaya hindi talaga nabosesan man lang. Malakas din ang tugtog ng worship music kasi sa loob.
Hindi napansin pagvivideo ko dahil sanay nang kahit ano ay vinivideo ko.
Dahil dumeretso sa bahay, wala pang peso sa wallet ang ofw na anak, kaya napilitan ng maglabas ng foreign money. May ganung pera din pala ang mama na bigay ng sister na ofw din noon.
Panoorin niyo po ang nakaka-antig na shorts na ito. Ang kabuuan ay mapapanood sa FB album ko under Tracy's surprise homecoming @Jo Abarquez Go.
Thank you for watching! God bless everyone! @goodvibeschannel888
