Christmas Poinsettia Cake

I made this cake for a friend's cookie exchange party - I like the festive colors!










This was my first time doing any kind of "drapey thing" down the front of a cake...so that was interesting to figure out. :) I did it in white modeling chocolate, and it was losing its flexibility when I started folding it, so I had to take the whole thing off and do it again, and finally got it to lay right. :)
The poinsettias are also modeling chocolate. I hand-piped the snowflakes and decorated them with edible pearl nonpareils.
