This is how you can make a Santa face out of fondant.

1 circle cutter - medium

1 circle cutter - small (not pictured)

1 flower cutter - medium

1 triangle cutter - medium (also not pictured)

1 edible black marker

1 piping nozzle with a small tip.

Using the medium circle cutter, cut out a circle of the 'skin' fondant.

Cut out a triangle of the red.

Attach the red triangle to the circle using a little water, and bend slightly at the top.

Roll a ball of skin colour and attach with a little water for his nose.

Cut out a flower of white, and using the small circle cutter, cut out a circle in between 2 of the petals.

Attach to the face with a little water.Cut out 3 small circles using the piping tip.Attach one circle with a little water to the tip of the hat.
