I've been wanting to do a winter theme/snowflake cake for awhile now...finally had an excuse to! Took this cake up to my friend's house on Christmas Eve for a visit. A special thanks to Christine (abbietabbie) for giving me the ok to use her idea of the snowflake tree - www.flickr.com/photos/abbietabbie/3027296110/. Next time i will have to use her advice on using a raw spaghetti down the middle for support! LOL...mine came out a little wobbly but once the royal icing glue dried it did ok. This is a 3 layer vanilla cake with raspberry filling, butter cream frosting, fondant draped *snow* over the top and fondant snowflakes and tree with silver dragees. Sprinkled *snow* at base of tree is the Wilton white sparkle flakes. Also used those to add sparkle to the snowflakes.
