Swoooosh

I made my ma and bro a ski themed cake for their birthday:


I stacked two circular sponges and then shaped them to vaguely resemble a moutain, before covering in white roll out icing and placing on a cake board. Next, I scattered icing sugar over the whole cake for a snow effect and added snowflake shaped sprinkles (thanks, Waitrose!) before decorating with flags (oh, more cocktail sticks!) and real (yes, real!) fir trees with the ends sellotaped so not to ruin the cake. I made the skis from icing and then the figures are actually Star Wars action figures - Princess Leia and Boba Fett! - with my ma and bro's faces stuck on. Easy peasy!
