I made this Homemade Ski-Doo Cake for my husband’s birthday. The ski-doo I made three or four days before the party and it kept in the refrigerator very well. I used a heavy chocolate cake and carved it in the ski-doo shape. Then I crumb coated it with a butter cream icing and covered it with marshmallow fondant dyed with black food coloring.
I made the fondant a few days before hand to save time. Looking at my husband’s snowmobile, I added the main features using fondant. I covered the seat with black fondant and used gray for the headlights and foot rest. For the handle bars, I covered toothpicks with fondant. I rolled very thin strips of yellow fondant and stuck them on as the “ski-doo” letters.
The skis are black licorice candy. I rolled a strip of black fondant for the track and rolled a pen cap over it for the tread look, then I looped it over yellow and black licorice candy and placed it under the ski-doo. Then I covered another chocolate cake with whipping cream and placed the snowmobile on top.
It was surprisingly simple and he was shocked!
