No-Melt Snowmen

ml1204_1204_snowmen.jpg

Introduction

These merry snowmen get their roly-poly forms, red scarves, and carrot noses from rolled fondant, a thick, pliable sugar mixture often used to give wedding cakes a smooth finish (you'll find it at baking-supply stores). Chocolate sprinkles stand in for coal eyes and buttons; licorice drops make the hats.

Materials

  • White fondant (No. 710-2076), from wilton.com
  • Gel-paste food coloring (No. 601-5127), from wilton.com
  • Chocolate sprinkles
  • Toothpicks
  • Licorice dot for hat
  • Sanding sugar

Steps

  1. Step 1 of 3

    On a cornstarch-dusted surface, roll balls of white fondant to form the three parts of a snowman.
  2. Step 2 of 3

    Glue balls with royal icing if needed. Using gel-paste food coloring, tint a tiny bit of fondant orange; shape into carrot noses. Tint a small amount red for scarves.
  3. Step 3 of 3

    Make toothpick holes for noses, eyes, and buttons; push in carrots and sprinkles. Add scarves, and top with licorice hats. Display on a platter that has been "snowed" on with sanding sugar, or set in front of a gingerbread house.
