So that the dough is well distributed in the mould: Hold the mould with the opening facing upwards and push it onto the work surface from time to time. Place the mould on the bottom of the oven with the opening facing upwards. Bake the cake for 45-50 minutes

   Leave the cake to cool in the mould for about 20 minutes. Remove the pins, detach the halves of the mould. Let the cake cool down completely. Cut the dough under the boots straight. For the icing: Beat 1 egg white, juice and icing sugar with a hand mixer until creamy and shiny. Put 1/3 of it in a small freezer bag

   Take 1 teaspoon each from the remaining cast and colour it brown or green. Colour the rest of the cast red. Paint the man with the cast: the body red, the boots brown, the gift bag green. Cut a small corner from the freezer bag. Spray beard and hem with it. Decorate Santa Claus with sweets. Let everything dry
