Actually, it's been looking like Christmas for a while now, and Christmas is only a week away! A friend needed a Christmas present for her boss, and since they have two granddaughters, she asked me to make cake pops with "just any X-mas theme." I found these snowman and Santa Claus bellies online (I love that they are just the belly) and mostly recreated them, with butter cake and vanilla frosting on the inside. The hats are an inverted chocolate candy melt with a Rolo candy on top, and I added green autumn leaf sprinkles (I didn't have holly sprinkles on hand) and piped berries onto the hat for a little pizzazz. The snowmen's carrot noses are made of fondant, as are their eyes and mouths.
A few close-up pictures are always a must! I gave the snowmen a bit of color on their cheeks by brushing on pink shimmer dust. If these snowmen had hands, I believe they'd tip their hats!
Upon further investigation (by eating), we can safely conclude that Santa's belly is a cake belly and not a beer belly:
One more week until Christmas...
