This cake was donated to the Auburn Public Library's childrens department, for their winter event: "Snowman Stories". It was designed around a favorite of mine by Ezra Jack Keats, "The Snowy Day". The entire cake was edible, and had a 360 degree view. The cake board was covered in fondant with little embossed footprints going around the cake. The details are sculpted sugar and hand painted fondant. I decided to make my maple-brown sugar cake with vanilla bean frosting. It went over very well, based on the facial expressions and children asking for seconds ~ keep in mind these were not vegan children, except for my daughter. The fact it was a vegan cake was a well kept secret through most of the party). I think the people who run the childrens department do such a wonderful job. It's nice to see people working with children who actually love what they do.
