Snowboarders Cake

My Snowboarders Cake was made especially for Zoe Gilling, Great Britains Number one Snowboarder. The cake was actually for Zoe and her now husband Dans wedding day and was inspired by Zoes love of the slopes and her love of a particular ingredient, chocolate! Cadbury chocolate to be precise. Zoe is a big fan, so the cake had to be a chocolate one, with the base layer made up of a cadburys tiffin creation. Cadburys snowbites could be found nestled amongst this tiffin mix, to highlight the snowy theme of the cake, together with crushed up chocolate finger biscuits and melted fruit and nut bars for crunch. A white chocolate buttercream covered the whole creation with scatterings of desiccated coconut to look like snow. Mini gingerbread biscuit trees and chalets decorated the sugary slopes with coconut marzipan snowflakes adding a final frosty flurry. Rather than the traditional bride and groom, I created mini gingerbread snowboards with Zoe and Dans name on to sit on top of the cake and summit. biscuit trees 2
