The snowman looked very French to me…so I named him Mr.Frenchie. Check out his hat and fashionable Christmassy scarf .
SNOWMAN
Step1:
Roll out two balls of white fondant. One should be bigger than the other. The big one will be the body and the small one will be the head.
Step 2:
Stick a toothpick into the center of the big ball. You can also use an uncooked spaghetti instead of a toothpick.
Note: If you are using a toothpick, break off the sharp point of the toothpick after sticking it into the body... I forgot to take a picture of that. Step 3:
Place the small ball on top of the toothpick until the body and head are in place and not wobbling around. Step 4:
Roll out 5 small black balls. Two of these will be eyes and three of them will be buttons. Step 5:
Press three balls onto Mr.Frenchie’s body with your finger. No water needed. Step 6:
Now, press the remaining two black balls onto his face to make eyes. Again, no water needed. Step 7:
For the hat, roll out two black balls of fondant. One ball should be bigger than the other. Flatten the big ball with your finger. Leave the small ball as is. Step 8:
Brush some water on the center of the flattened circle. Step 9:
Place the small ball on top of this water mark and gently press to hold it in place. The hat is ready! Step 10:
Brush some water on top of Mr.Frenchie’s head. Step 11:
Place the hat on the water mark and and hold in place for a few seconds until it sticks. Step 12:
For the lips, roll out black fondant into a “smiley” shape. Step 13:
Press it into the face of the snowman with your finger to make Mr.Frenchie smile. Again, no water needed.
Note: You can also use black royal icing (thick consistency) or black edible marker to make the smile, eyes and even buttons. Step 14:
For the nose, roll out orange fondant into a cone shape. Step 15:
Brush some water between the eyes and mouth. Step 16:
Gently press the cone on the water mark until the nose holds in place. Step 17:
For the scarf, roll out long snakes of red and green fondant. Place them side by side and using your rolling pin, roll on them until they stick to each other. Step 18:
Wrap the scarf around Mr.Frenchie’s neck and brush some water to secure it in place.
And he is now ready to walk down the snowy runway of the north pole in his totally fashionable attire …
