What can I use to decorate the head of a cake bride snowman?!?

I'm making the wedding cake for friends. Its snowmen as a bride and groom. I'm after ideas for the 'brides' head - she needs hair or a head covering. Ideally it would be edible - so not wool which would get stuck to the icing. Ideas needed asap. Cheers!

Oh, how about this? Make the hair out of marzipan! You'll want to color it with paste coloring, not liquid food color.

Just color the marzipan, then push it through a garlic press. A Play Dough factory toy would also work. Anything you have that will squeeze out fairly thin strands.

You can even form a small headress out of marzipan in the shape of leaves and flowers. Ditto the veil, but it won't be white. I'd roll the marzipan out thinly, cut it into the right shape, then cover it with one of those paper doilies. Then, just sift confectioner's sugar over the thing. Lift the paper off carefully and you'll have a lace pattern. Good luck!

How about a 'tiara' or wreath of holly, seeing as it's seasonal. So instead of a floral hair piece: make it from icing as holly,ivy, even mistletoe?

A piece of lace?

How about one large baked meringue hat on the head. Can be large and any colour and is edible and very light weight so can be easily attached with a long and colorful ( and visible ) hat pin.

No hair would be needed.

Good luck!

Depending on the hair color and texture, you may want to try peelable licorice. And, even though it isn't edible, you could get some netting and give her a veil. Even when it sticks it won't be as bad as wool when it comes to leaving particles behind.

Cotton candy which you can sometimes buy in a bag in stores. Black strings of licorice. Cake iciing that comes in tubes.

Try licorice laces - - very long thin strands of licorice, usually in red or black colors. You can snip the laces into strips and place in whatever hairstyle you'd like.

Otherwise, you could pipe some colored frosting in thin strands, to make a hair-do.

I like the idea of spun sugar, but I was thinking about creating a syrup and drizzle on a premade hat/veil combo, just made the hat more solid - spin the sugar threads to look like lace for the veil. That was the hat would look more 'logical' for a snowman and the lacy looking veil would cover where the hair would be.

OR

I am sorry that I am drawing a blank on the name of this, but it is the 'icing' that you put on the cake like a sheet (you see it on wedding cakes, looks like flawless white icing) -- you could shape it into a hat / veil.

how about spun sugar, I don't know the best method of doing this but if you ask on here as another question I am sure loads of people would give you great advice - good luck

I would take the tiny star tip and spritz a tiny tiara headpiece on her head. Then do a larger "snowball" bun on top.

cheesestring! lol

could the head and hair be made from coloured marizpan , etch the head to make it look like hair
