Let it snow!

My friend's mom is here in the US for the first time and one thing she was really looking forward to is the snow. It has been raining a lot here but no snow yet. So this 'snowy' cake was for her birthday.


This is a coconut cake with cream cheese frosting. The top of the cake is sprinkled with shredded coconut to make it look like snowflakes. The edible fondant accents that I made for this theme are snow covered cottage, trees, fences, Mr & Mrs Snowman and penguins.


Some shots to give a closer look at the detail work done on the accents: just click on the images. Love the cute snow couple and oh, did I mention the cottage door has a handle and the window curtains are tied back? Maybe, its a bit too much, huh?


I liked the way the fences turned out, looked like real wood panels... almost :-)
