Ingredients

  • link fruit jell-o® mix with marzipan and ready-to-roll white icing (see below)
  • 250 chocolate icing white
  •  chocolate icing soft
  • balls edible gold dust fine

Equipment

    Directions

    1. Knead the ready-to-roll icing until smooth, then roll out to approx 1cm thickness. Using snowflake cutters of various sizes, stamp out 3 snowflake shapes.
    2. Lay the snowflakes on baking parchment on a flat surface and leave overnight to harden. Keep any trimmings and wrap up in cling film.
    3. Next day, make the royal icing. Drop a writing tube into a piping bag and spoon in a third of the icing.
    4. Spread the rest around the base of the cake to create a snowdrift effect. Pipe snowflake outlines over the cut-out snowflake shapes and pipe snowflakes all over the surface of the cake in different sizes and designs. Leave for 1 hr until the icing has hardened slightly, then sprinkle silver lustre over the cake, snowdrift and snowflakes.
    5. Using the leftover ready-to-roll white icing, mould thimble-sized supports for your snowflakes to lean against. Position the snowflakes on the top of the cake. Finally, fix the silver balls to the icing with a little more of the royal icing. Finish by scattering sparkles over.
