Merry Christmas

A christmas cake for a party the local government officials were having. The client asked for Christmas, but not overly iconic imagery (no trees, gifts, santas, etc…) but she wanted it to reflect the season and accent the party. Holly adorns the cake with highly detailed mini gumpaste snowflakes and dragee snowballs set against hills of snow wrapped around the cake.. The client also asked for individualized cookie favors reflecting something unique to each party guest, so I made little ginger bread girls and boys and each one had it’s own separate decor for the guests. In the picture there is a teacher, a wine enthusiast, an Italian and a boater. All edible decor done with gumpaste. 30 individual cookies.
