Snowmen

Today I have been baking with my other half.  An army of snowmen all ready to go as Christmas gifts.  

Making small cakes can sometimes be just as time consuming as larger ones, but when you have good company and Christmas songs playing, it makes for an enjoyable afternoon. 

Cakes like this make ideal gifts and can be adapted for any occasion, your imagination is the only limit.

Everything on the cakes is edible and would serve 2 people, making them ideal to share.

The snowmen are made from fondant icing with an additive called Tylo powder, a gum tragacanth substitute, this makes the icing slightly more firm so it holds it's shape better and your snowmen won't look like they are melting, unless that is the look you are going for, if so just don't add it. 

Merry Christmas and have a good holiday, what ever it is you are up to this Christmas.
