- Beat the butter and sugar in a mixing bowl until soft and light. Beat in the eggs, a little at a time, until well blended. Gently stir in the orange zest, vanilla and flour.

- For the chocolate icing, melt the chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl over a pan of simmering water. Remove from the heat and allow it to cool slightly. Stir in the crème fraiche until blended, and then stir in the icing sugar. Spread the icing over the top of each cake.
- To decorate, place a mini marshmallow on each cake for the head and pipe the mouth and eyes with brown piping icing. Attach the liquorice comfits to each cake to form the body, arms and legs.
