Where's Frosty??


75 snowmen for the holidays.

These were inspired by Bakerella, http://www.bakerella.com/snowman-cake-pops/ snowman cake pops from her new book. I had promised to deliver 75 pieces and was wondering how I would pull it off after doing a few. You need lots of patience and time. Both of which I didn't have that day. I did them in steps as to not burn out. You also need space for 150+ cake balls, they were in every fridge and freezer. I did all choc. cake which when going with light colour candy coating would not be recommended. I had to use white candy wafers when really I wanted super white (only in US). Assembly was time consuming but I was really happy with how they turned out. I would recommend skipping the double ball snowman and just doing hat and head next time. If you are going to try this it's vital to add flocoat candy oil to candy prior to colouring paste.

Oh Tannenbaum... How lovely are your sprinkles

Cars cake


Right out of Radiator Springs!!





And egg free too! that was the hard part! I got it in the end with the bottom being chocolate chocolate chip with vanilla buttercream and the top vanilla with chocolate chip buttercream icing. Both tiers are covered in airbrushed marshmallow fondant. I had to make my own stencil for the racing flag, but it worked out great. The pylons are modeling chocolate. The logo, Mater and Lightening Mcqueen are all fondant with some airbrushing on Mater for rust. My friend who ordered this is a dentist so I had fun exaggerating Maters overjet. I even made a few sets of tires for the adults. They were choc. dipped mini oreos. It was so special to make Connor a REAL egg free cake instead of another ice cream cake.
