Roll marzipan or sugar paste into a log and make six smooth balls for the bodies and six smaller ones for the heads.
Roll thin ropes, cut on the bias, and attach as legs and arms; shape boots from a different color with straight cuts.
Divide rolled dough into six drop-shaped hats; add small pieces for pom-poms, sleeve fur, gloves, nose, buttons and eyes.

For royal icing, beat egg white with a few drops of lemon juice and sifted powdered sugar until firm; pipe the fur, beard, hair and mustache.

- salt
- oil
- honey
- vanilla

Beat egg, sugar and salt on high until fluffy; add the oil and beat until fluffy; add honey, vanilla and buttermilk, then the sifted flour, cocoa, baking soda and baking powder, and mix until just combined.
Swap the paddle for the whisk and beat about a minute to smooth.
