how to do cake and cream

Explanation:
To start with making this cake, you’ll want to make your snowboards so they have time to sit and firm up a bit. Grab a little bit of white fondant and color it to the color you’d like your snowboard. You won’t need more than a few tablespoons of fondant for these small snowboards.
Color your fondant and then roll it out. Use an exacto knife or something similar to cut out the shape of a snowboard. Then use a small amount of black fondant to make the boots. You’ll need to make a thinner and longer piece for the bottom part of the boots. Then for the top part of the boot, make an even smaller ball that you press the bottom end of a paintbrush into to create the boot opening. Use a little water to make everything stick together and then let it all dry.

To make the mountains, you’ll want to first prep your “snow”. I thought coconut would work pretty well for that, but I didn’t want to leave it in big shredded pieces. So to get more fine looking snow, pop the shredded coconut into a food processor and pulse until it is in smaller pieces and resembles snow. To that, I added some sanding sugar to give it a little sparkly, but you could do without that if you prefer.

Once you have your snow ready, it’s time to make the mountains. I used sugar cones for the mountains. I wanted to have plenty of mountains on the cake and those seemed like a great, simple way to make them. Plus, they are lightweight, so you can have a good number of them and it won’t weigh the top of the cake down.
Start by placing the cones on top of the cake pan you’ll be using so that you can see how many you want, what heights you want the cones at and how they’ll lay out. Then, spread some melted white chocolate onto each cone and and press some of the coconut “snow” onto the white chocolate. Let them set aside to dry.

The next step will be to make your cake and frost it. From there, you’ll press the rest of the coconut “snow” into the frosting on the cake and add the mountains and snowboards to the top. I also added the little fondant piece on top with the saying on it. You could write anything on there, of course, to congratulation the new mom. I just used a food writer pen and wrote it right on there.
Of course if you are making this cake ahead, I’d suggest adding your decorations to the top shortly before serving so everything stays in tact well. Moisture can soften fondant fairly quickly, so for it to keep best, you don’t want it sitting on the cake for too long. If you get a chance to try the cake, I hope you enjoy it!
