Winter Cake

Winter Cake on Cake Central

I did this for our annual holiday party. I was inspired in part by a photo I saw here on CC by emmascakes and a display at Starbucks! :) I used iced gingerbread cookies, fondant, and gumpaste (for the posts and snowflakes. It was my first attempt at columns and gumpaste.. I learned a lot!

Thank you! I was proud, although I learned so much because the "posts" kept falling with the weight of the snowflakes. So I learned to let them dry much longer and make the snowflakes much thinner. Thanks for the comments!

The posts are stuck into the cake. Don't make the mistake I did though! I should have stuck straws into the cake and then put the posts into the straws... live and learn! (The posts kept falling out the way I did it!)
