This giant snowflake cupcake cake and figure skate cookies were made for a birthday party at an ice skating rink. As I was carefully prying individual snowflakes out of their cutters, a beautiful but heavy snow began to fall outside. Thankfully, we were on time for the delivery!
The giant snowflake is made up of 25 individual vanilla buttermilk cupcakes iced with vanilla buttercream. The cupcakes are lightly adhered to the decorative board so that removal is easy. The snowflakes are edible gum paste and the entire cake is pearlized and sprinkled with iridescent cake sparkles.
The figure skate cookies are vanilla butter cookies covered with vanilla fondant, piped royal icing blue laces, and hand painted silver blades. Each cookie bag was decorated with a silver snowflake sticker.
It was a pleasure to make these for 10 year old Jessa--even if the real snowflakes did make delivery "interesting".......
