My yard is covered in snow, snow that has been there since Christmas morning. The temperature has been so cold that the snow hasn't melted...at all. To help me from getting cabin fever, I decided to try to embrace the cold by making a fun snowy cake. I wanted to practice piping, so that is what dominates this design.
There aren't too many close up pictures of piping work online. I tried to find some patterns since I have very little experience with this. I kind of made up the pattern as I went, adding layers as I went.
I added some sparkling dust on the edges, that helped the cake sparkle in the light.
For the top I made a snowflake out of fondant.
It was supported with a small toothpick in the back a little piping of "snow" drifts.
I was suprised how warm a hand gets after it has been piping frosting for an hour and a half.
Now that my snow cake is done, I am ready for winter to be done too. Please hurry spring.
So, when you make a "just for fun" cake. Who eats it? Do you just invite friends over? Do you have a freezer full of cakes? or do you have the luckiest kids in the world who get to eat massive cakes at least once a month?
ReplyDeletehow cute is that! I think the details are beautiful. I hope you brighten many a neighbor or friend with a surprise cake.
