Chocolate layered Vanilla Cake covered with fondant snowman

Zoya turned two this week and on her demand I baked a cake for her to cut at 12 midnight! This was the first time I was working with fondant icing and had no tools to make the toys and lay them on the cake but I managed to get a decent cake on the table.
Zoya loved the cake and couldn't take her hands off it! It was such a satisfying moment!
