Step 1:
Crumb the cooled sponge
cake into a large bowl
and mix well with enough
vanilla frosting to create
a cake dough similar in
consistency to a cookie
dough.
Roll out two cake balls
with one slightly larger
than the other.
Thread them through the
end of a cake pop stick,
making sure you’ve dipped
the tip of the stick with a
bit of chocolate to allow
adhesion

Step 5:
Wrap this around the
snow man, making sure
you have enough room to
add eyes on later.

Step 2:
Refrigerate till chilled
through
Melt a bowl of white
chocolate melts in a
microwave, stirring
constantly every 2030 seconds until it’s
thoroughly melted
Dip the prepared cake
ball skewer into the bowl,
using a spoon to scoop
chocolate all over the
cake balls to ensure they
are fully covered

Step 6:
Affix a small red heart
sprinkle to the end of the
scarf.

Step 3:
Place on a baking sheet
to dry
Meanwhile, roll out red
fondant into a disc shape.
Thread this through the
top of the cake pop stick
to sit on top of the snow
man
Add a white fondant trim
as shown. This forms the
hat.

Step 7:
Pinch a small ball of white
fondant and shape it into
a tiny bird. Add another
small red heart for its
wings.

Step 4:
Roll out a short length of
green fondant and trim to
size. The blunt side of a
knife or a toothpick can
be used to score lines on
the scarf

Step 8:
Using a bit of white
chocolate, attach the tiny
bird to the brim of the hat.
Roll out a small red
fondant ball and attach it
for the nose
Using black edible gel or
marker, draw in its eyes to
complete the look.
