I made this cake for my daughter's wedding, Jan. 26, 2008 I had to travel with it for 4 hours. I assembled it at the hall where it took 2 hours to add the small "snowballs" and the draggees. The little balls where made of rolled fondant which i rolled 2 weeks in advance to give me a head start. My daughter's theme was snowflakes, so I added little glass balls with engraved snowflakes on them.
