What you need to work:
• 16 small chocolates (sticks);
• one egg;
• chocolate figure of Santa Claus or Snow Maiden;
• Styrofoam;
• white corrugated paper;
• wide double-sided tape;
• red satin ribbon 0.5 cm wide;

• spruce cone;
• glue gun;
• organza ribbon;
• red "rain" (tinsel);

Working process:
1. First of all, it is necessary to make the basis of the cake. To do this, cut a 9 cm diameter circle from the foam. It is desirable that the height of the workpiece corresponds to the length of the chocolate bar, which will be glued to the base, but can also be made 1 cm lower. It is better to take a 3 cm thick foam and cut two identical circles from it, which glue together using a glue gun.
2. On corrugated paper, with a compass, draw two circles. One, with a blank with a diameter of 9 cm, and the second a little more: 10.5 cm and carefully cut them with scissors.
3. Using a glue gun, attach the larger circle to the bottom of the foam blank, and the smaller one to the top.
4. Then, from the same corrugated paper, cut a strip 28 cm long, and at least 8 cm wide and with hot glue, fasten it around the foam base. Extend the edge protruding from above, slightly stretch your fingers to get a beautiful frill.

7. In the middle of one of the chocolates, apply a small drop of hot glue and immediately press the edges of the white organza to it. Pulling lightly, wrap all the chocolates with it and firmly fix the edge with a gun, in the same place as the beginning. On top of white, fasten the red, satin ribbon in the same way.
8. String the Christmas balls on a satin ribbon and fix by tying a tight knot. Then make a beautiful bow, cut off the excess edges and secure it with a gun at the junction of the ribbons. On top of the red bow, you can glue white organza.
9. On ribbons with a slight indent from each other, glue the snowflakes, and in their center beads.
10. Spangle mix with PVA emulsion or glue based on it and with a thin brush, gently apply cones on the petals, let dry. The remaining mixture can be used to color the balls.
11. Along the edge of the upper circle of the cylinder, before the paper frill, attach tinsel. In the center, fix the egg and Santa Claus with hot glue, and in front of them is a cone decorated with sequins.
