It's gonna add that extra special touch to your holiday cakes and make them stand out like a star on a Christmas tree.
Materials You'll Need
First things first, let's talk about what you'll need. You don't need a bunch of fancy stuff, just some basic things you might already have around or can easily pick up. You'll need white fondant, food - safe glitter, edible glue, a snowflake cutter set, and a drum - shaped cake. Oh, and don't forget some green fondant for that classic Christmas holly look.
Preparing the Fondant
Let's start with the white fondant. Roll it out on a lightly floured surface. You want it to be about 1/8 inch thick. If it's too thick, your snowflakes will look bulky, and if it's too thin, they might break easily. As you're rolling, make sure it's nice and even. You can use a rolling pin with guides to help you get the right thickness.
Once your fondant is rolled out, it's time to cut those snowflakes. Grab your snowflake cutter set. I love these sets because they come with different sizes and shapes of snowflakes. Press the cutters firmly into the fondant and pop out the snowflakes. You can make as many as you want, depending on how big your cake is and how much of a snow - covered look you're going for.
Adding the Glitter
Now, here comes the fun part – adding the glitter! Take a small brush and dip it in some edible glue . Then, gently brush the glue over the snowflakes. Be careful not to use too much glue, or the glitter will clump up. After that, sprinkle the food - safe glitter over the glued snowflakes. The glitter gives them that magical sparkle just like real snowflakes catching the light. Shake off any excess glitter and set the snowflakes aside to dry.
Creating the Holly
While the snowflakes are drying, let's work on the Christmas holly. Roll out the green fondant. It doesn't have to be as thin as the white fondant for the snowflakes. Cut out some holly leaf shapes using a holly cutter. You can also use a small round cutter if you don't have a holly cutter to make the red berries. Attach the berries onto the holly leaves with a little bit of edible glue.
Decorating the Drum Cake
Once your snowflakes are dry, it's time to start decorating the cake. If you're using a plain drum - shaped cake, you can cover it with a layer of white frosting first. This helps the decorations stick better. Take your snowflakes and place them around the sides top of the cake. You can arrange them in a random pattern to look like snowflakes that have fallen on the cake naturally.
Next, add the holly. Place the holly leaves and berries strategically around snowflakes . They add a pop of color and that classic Christmas feel. You can also add a few more snowflakes on top of the holly for an extra touch.
