How to make

You will need:

White iced cake

Small quantity of royal icing

Step-1

Make the trees for the forest by rolling a cone of green icing.

Step-2

Roll out the same shade of green icing and cut out a few daisies with the plunger cutter. Gently pinch and squish the daisy in the centre and secure to the bottom of the cone with cooled boiled water and a paintbrush.

Step-3

Work your way around the cone adding the squished daisies and working upwards.

Step-4

Cover the whole of the cone and leave all your trees to dry whilst you make the cottage.

Step-5

Take a golf ball sized piece of blue icing and shape into a cube with a pointed roof. Use a sharp knife to cut straight sides all around. Score lines into the four sides of the cottage with the edge of a knife.

Step-6

Transfer the cottage onto a piece of non-stick paper. Thinly roll out some grey icing and use the small plunger cutter to cut out the roof tiles. Apply them to the roof using a little water starting at the bottom and working in rows upwards, overlapping the tiles as you go. Repeat on the other side of the roof.

Step-7

Pipe a little royal icing 'snow' along the top of the roof and add a snow-capped chimney.

Step-8

Cut some windows and a door from the black icing, attach in place with water and pipe more 'snow' on the window ledges and top of the door. Add doorknob and windowpanes.

Step-9

Arrange your trees on the cake and nestle the cottage in amongst the forest. When you're happy with the placement secure everything with royal icing.
