At frosty temperatures you can create beautiful ice lights. All you need is a cake shape with a hole in the middle and natural material, such as a few nuts, leaves, beech eggs, rose hips or heather. What you find in nature can be used. After everything is frozen you can put a candle in it. This makes the ice shine.
The same can also be done with snow. However, you decorate the snow cake only after baking. See for yourself!
