This is the first of my holiday recipes. I didn't take a ton of pictures since I made four desserts (and also I forgot to take them occasionally). The baking part of the cake was super easy, standard cake making, the decorating was difficult. I got a new cake stand and a frosting kit, though, which was awesome.
I was going to make a marzipan snowman, but that proved a little too ambitious, time-wise (and now I have some marzipan and chocolate frosting to use in something else). I did make the sugared rosemary trees which were popular. I just put "rosemary" on the shopping list, and husband came home and was like "they were out of fresh rosemary, so I got you dried rosemary, is that ok?" and I had to admit I just asked him to get it as a decorative element. He's a trooper, and went out and got me some the next day. Good story, right?
