Snowman Cake From New Holiday Cookbook

[Sherry Leigh]

I know it's a little early, but my host for next week would like the Snowman Cake from the new Holiday Cookbook.
Has anyone made this yet?
Any tips would be appreciated!!! TIA

Yes, and it is so cute!! I'd bake the cakes for her the night before if possible, that way they can be cooled and ready to go. Just take the three bowls with you to show what you made the cakes in. The frosting is yummy, and doesn't dry out or get hard. My DH and I made the Snowman Cake together a few weeks ago for my Open House, and it turned out just fine. Good luck with yours. I'm sure it will be a fun show!!

How do you cut the cake?

 

[baychef]

With a snow shovel? Ok, kick me now Linda!!!

This sounds delicious. I have tried the raspberry chocolate wafer things and they are yummy-licious! Will be looking for more threads on these. Customers are buying that cookbook especially when they see the chocolate mint thing!

I am making th chocolate cheesecake tyhis weekend cant wait to try it.\

I also cant wait to make the snowman cake. I have a church dinner on the 7th of Nov and I am going to sign up to take the dessert. Can you guess what I am taking??

Yes, I made this for our Fall Open House. Really easy - just do as it says... can't be simpler. The hat was a little tricky however. I suggest getting a chocolate covered cookie and dipping just the Marshmallow in the chocolate and setting in on that. Here's a snap of him before his arms, hat and scarf - waiting on some pics from a friend for the "completed guy". Which reminds me - veevah - where are the pics? Hee hee?

At least he's a melting snowman- so perfect icing isn't an issue! My kids would love this cake. I love the idea for the hat too.

too cute, I have a host who wants the snowman cake b/c her friend saw it in her friends holiday cookbook. good idea making the cakes the night before. Her party is 12/6 so I have time to test it out at home
cute pics!!

That picture came out so great- it would be perfect for an event coming up at Church.....would someone please give the recipe? I promise I'll get the cookbook, but it won't get here in time....

I don't have the cookbook, but it looks like it's probably the Classic Batter Bowl cake on bottom, Small Batter Bowl in middle, and maybe a Prep Bowl cake on top. I would cut the bottoms to flatten and then cut some off of the top to sit next one on. Then use white icing, maybe a nice Buttercream. That's just my guess!! Maybe someone will post the recipe that comes from the cookbook.

Can any one send me the recpie for the snowman please?

As soon as hubby gets home with my car (which has my kit in the trunk) I can go out and get cookbook and type up the recipe.

Push three wooden skewers straight down in a triangular pattern into cakes, pressing through to bottom; carefully trim skewers using kitchen shears. Frost snowman using small spreader, creating a swirled pattern. Decorate as desired.Chef’s corner:
To make the hat, melt chocolate flavored almond bark according to package directions. Dip end of one large marshmallow into bark and place onto a chocolate wafer cookie. Dip cookie and marshmallow into bark, place onto parchment paper and let stand until set.Frosting can be made up to 3 days in advance and stored at room temperature.

I am making this cake today as a trial for a show on Sunday. The hat is a bit tricky. I do like the idea of using a chocolate graham cracker and just dipping the marshmallow in the chocolate bark stuff. I got some M&Ms and some Hershey Kissables for the decorations and will try fruit by the foot for his scarf. I don't know about the broom.... any ideas how to keep the licorice strings attached to the pretzel?

If my show would EVER turn all the orders in, I am getting this cookbook!!!!
