Step-by-step instructions

1. 1

   Take a cake pop stick and thread a marshmallow onto it, narrow end first. Thread a second marshmallow, wide end onto the first so the two wide ends meet in the middle. Thread a third marshmallow sideways so the narrow round end forms the snowman's face.

2. 2

   Knead the white fondant icing and divide it into 6 portions. Shape each into a rough mound and place the snowmen onto these bases.

3. 3

   Take three strawberry laces and twist them together. Tie around a snowman's neck and trim the excess with scissors. Repeat for the other snowmen.

4. 4

   Using a little royal icing, attach a Pontefract cake to each head. With a little black writing icing, place a Liquorice Allsort on top of each Pontefract cake.

5. 5

   Pipe two eyes with black writing icing. With royal icing, attach a Tic Tac to each face as a carrot nose. Stick mini chocolate beans on the bodies as buttons.

6. 6

   With royal icing, attach four mini marshmallows to each snowman as arms. Attach a candy cane or pretzel stick to the end of each snowman's arm, fixing the bottom end to the icing mound.

7. 7

   Take a little royal icing and thin it with a few drops of water. Brush or dab it onto the base and sprinkle the crushed sugar cubes over it. Let set.
