Allow for the cake bases to cool completely before creating the buttercream & assembling the cake. If needed, cut the cake bases to size, so they can comfortably sit on top of each other.
Layer up the cake and spread a generous amount of buttercream in between each layer.
Next, create the crumb coat by gently spreading buttercream around the outside of the cake. Carefully scrape off any excess - it doesn’t need to be too neat at this point.Transfer the cake to the fridge for the crumb coat to set for 30 minutes.
Once the crumb coat is set to the touch, spread another layer of buttercream around the outside, smoothing it with a spatula, then place the cake into the fridge once again.
Shape the head of the snowman from white icing and create the eyes, mouth and nose from coloured icing. Assemble the face of the snowman on top of the set cake & smooth out the connection between the head and the cake with leftover buttercream. If you have any leftover black icing, shape a hat and a scarf for the snowman!
Sprinkle coconut shreds over the cake to resemble snow, then place your MummyMeagz Jolly Buttons onto the snowman’s coat. Add vanilla pods for the arms & admire your masterpiece!
