- Place the cake in the bowl of a food processor and process until finely chopped. Transfer to a large bowl. Stir in the dark chocolate, brandy and jam. Place in the fridge for 30 minutes or until slightly firm.
- Line 2 large baking trays with non-stick baking paper. Stir the cake mixture. Roll 2-teaspoonful quantities of cake mixture into balls and place on the lined trays. Place in the fridge for 1 hour or until firm.
- Place white sprinkles, silver sprinkles and desiccated coconut on three separate plates. Melt a 375g pkt white chocolate melts following packet directions. Line a tray with non-stick baking paper. Use a truffle dipper or fork to dip 1 truffle in chocolate to coat. Remove, tapping fork or dipper on edge of bowl to shake off excess chocolate. Roll in sprinkles or coconut. Repeat with remaining truffles, white sprinkles, silver sprinkles and coconut. Place on lined tray. Set aside until set.
- Assemble the tree: Starting at the base of the cone, insert a toothpick at a right angle into cone. Place a coconut truffle onto the toothpick to attach. Repeat, alternating truffles, to create a row of truffles around base. Continue, inserting each toothpick at a 45-degree angle, with the remaining truffles to cover the cone completely. Decorate with ribbon and baubles.
