Ingredients

2 Red velvet cake Round, Dimensions: 6x3 and 8x3
6 cups Cream cheese frosting
4 cups Marshmallow fondant White, light blue, black, orange
3 tablespoon Corn syrup Or water

Instructions

Bake the cakes and allow them to coom completely.
While the cakes are baking and cooling, make the frosting.
Cut each cake in half lengthwise and spread a thin layer of icing with a spatula.
Place the other halves of the cakes on top and press gently to secure into place.
Place these cakes on round cake boards (same size as the cakes).
Ice each cake smoothly in cream cheese frosting.
Roll out white fondant and spread it over these iced cakes.
Cut off excess fondant around the baseof each cake with a pizza cutter.
Use a fondant smoother to smooth out the fondant on top and the sides of the cake.
Place the 2 cakes on a large rectangular cake board. The smaller cake should be on top and the bigger one should be positioned below it. Stick them into place with tape.
Roll out light blue fondant and use a knife to cut a straight line near the bottom. Gently lift the fondant and place it over the top portion of your small cake. You can secure it in place by brushing some water. Cut off excess fondant around the cake with a knife or pizza cutter.
Roll out blue fondant again and cut out a thin strip. Use a toothpick or wooden skewer to create a striped pattern along the entire length of the strip. Stick the strip near the base of the cap, by brushing some water. Cut off excess fondant with a knife.
Let's make the fuzzy ball for the top of the cap. Roll out blue fondant again and cut a rectangular strip. Use a knife to make half cuts along the strip. Roll this strip of fondant and squeeze the base. Use a knife to cut off excess from the base. Stick this fuzzy ball in place with corn syrup or water. You will have to hold it in place for a little while until it sticks securely.
Stick some red diamond sprinkles all over the cap, with corn syrup.
Let's make the scarf now. Roll out blue fondant and use a knife to cut two rectangular pieces. Brush some water around the neck area. Lay these two pieces down but be sure to create some folds so that it doesn't look totally perfect. Stick some red diamond sprinkles all over this scarf. Brush some water near the ends of the scarf and stick the edible pattern sheets. Use scissors to snip the ends of the scarf to make it look realistic.
Use the edible dots as buttons and stick them on the body with water. You can also make buttons out of fondant and toothpick, if you don't have these pre-made dots.
Add facial details. Use orange triangle piece for a nose and round black fondant circles for eyes, and a black fondant strip for a smile.
Brush a small amount of pink edible lustre dust powder for cheeks.
Stick some sugar snowflakes on the board around the snowman. Enjoy.

Notes

Read all my tips above.
Leftovers can be stored in a sealed container in fridge for up to 3 days. However, please note that fondant decorations will become a still sticky from the moisture that's found in refrigerators.
