“Down the Chimney He Came..”

Okay, I’ll admit, I have a strange sense of humor. Something I saw while walking through the toy department of a store, put this design into my head. However, executing the design proved a little challenging. The boots are made of RKT’s on a sturdy straw, coated in black fondant. The rest of the cake is an 8″ red velvet cake (for some reason, that’s a popular flavor late in December). It was a little difficult keeping the straw from coming though the RKT’s and fondant. I probably should have let them dry a little longer before placing the straws into the cake. But, with extra fondant on the “heels” of the boots, I managed to keep everything in place for the party. When I brought this little fella into the work Christmas party, it was met with many “oooh’s” and “aaah’s” and “that’s so cute” remarks. With smiles on everyones faces, the party was off to a good start!
