\"\"<\/a>As a kid, I remember rolling, and rolling and rolling to make the biggest and greatest snowman that I could. \u00a0My brother, being 3 years younger than me, was either helping me, or trying to beat me. \u00a0He was slightly competitive!<\/p>\n

Often, our attempts were futile, as the pieces of the snowman would get so big that we could never get them off the ground and piled up on top of each other.<\/p>\n

Once, back inside, warming up with a mug of hot chocolate, I remember looking out the window and seeing all of the tracks that the rolling snowballs made all over the lawn, and the “dead” snowballs at the end of them. . . the ones that were too heavy to roll any further, or even attempt to lift. \u00a0They were often quite ugly, tube shaped and covered with brown chunks of grass that had been picked up along the way!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We had poor, pathetic Frosty’s that we tried to build on the lawn each year, but apparently frosty was always happy heading, thumpety, thump, thump, thumpety, thump, thump<\/em> down the road, built up beautifully in someone else’s yard.<\/p>\n

Now, I have sweet revenge on ole Frosty with the adult form of playdough- fondant! Perfect snowmen are a breeze when you’re not working with the real thing!<\/p>\n

The fondant that I use in the video is from a company called Satin Ice. \u00a0Their fondant is easy to work with, tastes ok and is generally reliable to stay malleable for longer than certain other brands.<\/p>\n

What you will need to make your own Snowman:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
