White Snowflake Cake (Winter Cake)

Step 1

Bake cakes and allow them to cool completely.

Step 2

While cakes are baking and cooling, prepare the frosting.

Step 3

Place one cake on a serving dish.

Step 4

Spread a thin layer of frosting on top.

Step 5

Place the second cake on top of the frosting and press gently to secure into place.

Step 6

Ice the entire cake smoothly in buttercream.

Step 7

Cover the entire cake in desiccated coconut. Keep aside.

Step 8

Make the chocolate snowflake now. Draw an outline of your round cake pan on a sheet of paper. This will ensure that your chocolate snowflake is the same size as your cake.

Step 9

Use a pencil to draw a snowflake design inside the circle. This will be your snowflake template.

Step 10

Place a sheet of wax paper on top of this paper template.
 Secure it in place with tape.

Step 11

Fill a piping bag with melted white chocolate and outline this snowflake design. 
Make sure your piping is thick, which makes the chocolate snowflake strong and firm. This reduces the likelihood of it breaking when you remove it from the wax paper.

Step 12

Sprinkle white sparkling sugar all over the snowflake before the chocolate hardens.

Step 13

Place an edible silver pearl in the center.

Step 14

Stick some white pearls randomly all over the snowflake.

Step 15

Allow the chocolate to completely set. Then, remove the tapes and gently peel the snowflake away from the wax paper. Tip: If you place this snowflake in the freezer for 5 minutes, removing it from the wax paper becomes even easier.

Step 16

Gently, place this chocolate snowflake topper on top of your frosted cake. Enjoy!
