CAKE SNOWMAN



Cake Snowman image

JUST like the outdoor kind, this frosty figure from our kitchen staff is sure to melt...only it'll be your mouth! The cute-as can-be character is completely edible, from its chocolate candy buttons and coconut snowflakes to the licorice scarf and gumdrop nose. What's more, you'll be able to build the confection without using a specially shaped pan. How? CT's cooks baked the cakes in ordinary ovenproof bowls, a muffin pan and custard cups. So go ahead-just gather the ingredients and roll out a snowman today!

SNOWMAN CAKE



Snowman Cake image

Provided by Sandra Lee

Categories     dessert

Time 1h50m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 24

1 (18.25-ounce) box white cake mix (recommended: Betty Crocker)
1 1/3 cups water
1/2 cup vegetable oil
3 eggs
1 teaspoon peppermint extract
2 unfrosted cupcakes
2 (12-ounce) containers whipped white frosting (recommended: Betty Crocker Fluffy White)
2 large egg whites or 5 tablespoons meringue powder
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice or 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted
Food coloring, if desired
Royal icing (in a squeeze bottle or piping bag)
2 cups sweetened flake coconut
20 store bought small snowflake shaped cookies
1 (7.5-ounce) bag square blue mint candies (for hat)
2 peppermint patties (for eyes)
2 blue jelly beans (for eyes)
1 orange gumdrops (for nose)
8 blue candy covered chocolates (for mouth)
3 round hard candies (for buttons)
1/4 cup color decorating sugar
1 foot long fruit roll-up (for scarf) (recommended: Fruit by the Foot)
1 giant blue peppermint stick (for broom stick)
6 large white gum drops (for hands)

Steps:

  • For Cake:
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease the bottom and sides of 2 (8-inch) round cake pans; set aside. In a large mixing bowl, combine cake mix, water, oil, eggs and extract. Use an electric mixer to beat on low speed for 1 minute. Scrape down bowl and then beat on medium speed for 2 minutes, or until batter is smooth. Divide batter evenly between cake pans. Bake in preheated oven for 25 to 35 minutes, or until center of tester comes out clean. Let cool in pans for 5 minutes. Remove from pans and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. ;
  • For Royal Icing:
  • With a hand mixer, beat the egg whites with the lemon juice or extract until frothy. Add the sifted powdered sugar and beat on low speed until combined, smooth, and shiny. Turn to high and beat approximately 5 minutes until stiff and glossy. Add food coloring, if desired, and transfer to a pastry bag to pipe onto cookies. ;
  • To Decorate:
  • Line the backside of a sheet pan with aluminum foil. Place 4 inch wide strips of parchment paper around the border of the sheet pan to keep the foil clean while you decorate the cake. Place cake rounds side by side on the lined sheet tray. Slice one side off each cupcake. Place cupcakes side by side at one end of a cake round with the cut/flat side facing up (this will be the top of the top hat). Frost both cakes and cupcakes with frosting so that it looks like a hat is resting on a snowman's head resting on a body. Remove the parchment paper. Spread or drizzle the bottom third of the sheet pan with some royal icing (the royal icing will act as glue for the coconut). Sprinkle the coconut over the royal icing to mimic snow. Randomly place 20 dollops of royal icing around the rest of the sheet pan. Place the snowflake cookies on each dollop of royal icing. Decorate the snowman's hat with rows of blue mints, starting at the very top of the Snowman's head and working up onto the cupcakes. To decorate the face use the peppermint patties for eyes, place a small dot of the royal icing in the center of each patty and place a blue jellybean on top of the royal icing. Use the orange gum drop for the nose and the blue candy coated chocolates for the smile. To make the buttons dip the flat side of a hard candy into the royal icing and then into the colored decorating sugar and place on the snowman's chest; repeat with remaining 2 hard candies. Take 2 (8-inch) piece fruit strips and tie them into a knot. Drape fruit strips across where the 2 cake rounds meet to make a scarf. To make the "broom", take a 3-inch long piece of fruit strip and slice the bottom 2 inches into thin strips. Place a small amount of royal icing at the end of the over sized candy cane and place the unsliced end of the fruit strip on to the royal icing. Use the large white gumdrops to make the hands. Place the candy cane next too one of his hands. ;

MELTING SNOWMAN CAKE



Melting Snowman Cake image

A double-stack of peppermint-swirled bundts make for an impressive "hill" on which to place an adorable snowman. Sure, he's a little panicked dripping down the sides (!) -- but we can't help but smile at his cute face.

Time 3h10m

Yield 18 servings

Number Of Ingredients 26

5 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups (4 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup vegetable oil
5 cups granulated sugar
12 large eggs
1 1/2 cups whole milk
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 teaspoons mint extract
2 tablespoons red liquid food color
Flour-based baking spray, for the pans
2 to 2 1/2 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
4 cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/3 cup half-and-half
1 square orange-flavored fruit chew
5 mini semisweet chocolate chips
1 semisweet chocolate chip
1 pretzel stick
2 chocolate sprinkles
1 red licorice lace
12 ounces white candy melting wafers
1 mini (fun-size) peanut-caramel-nougat candy bar
1 round vanilla wafer cookie
4 ounces dark chocolate

Steps:

  • For the cakes: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt. In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the butter, oil, granulated sugar and eggs together until well combined. Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture alternately with the milk. Begin and end with the flour mixture. Add the vanilla extract and mix briefly to combine.
  • Line a cupcake pan with 7 paper liners. Fill the cupcake liners 2/3 full with batter.
  • Remove 2 2/3 cups batter from the bowl and place it in a separate bowl. Stir in the mint extract and red food color.
  • Spray a 4-cup bundt pan and a 10-cup bundt pan with flour-based baking spray. Alternate layers of vanilla batter and mint (red) batter in each bundt pan until the pans are about 3/4 full. Use a butter knife to gently swirl the two batter colors together.
  • Bake the cupcakes for 15 to 20 minutes, the 4-cup bundt for 30 to 35 minutes and the 10-cup bundt for 50 minutes to 1 hour or until a toothpick tester comes out clean. When the cakes are done, turn them out onto wire racks to cool completely.
  • When the cupcakes are cool, crumble them into a large bowl and add 2 ounces of cream cheese. Mix together using a rubber spatula or knead together with your hands. Squeeze a small handful of the mixture in your hand. It should hold together. If it doesn't and the mixture is crumbly, knead in the remaining 1/2 ounce cream cheese.
  • Form three roughly ball-shaped pieces from the mixture that are small, medium and large as the segments of a snowman. Flatten the bottom of the largest ball so that it appears to pool and slump to one side. Add the medium ball on top and flatten slightly. Add the smallest ball on top and dowel the three pieces together with a toothpick. Refrigerate until firm, about 15 to 20 minutes.
  • For the glaze and decors: Combine the powdered sugar and vanilla extract in a large bowl. Gradually whisk in the half-and-half a little at a time until a thick white glaze forms. Place the largest bundt cake on a cake stand or serving platter with a lip. Cover the top of the bundt cake with half of the glaze. Top the glazed bunt cake with the second smaller bundt cake. Top the second cake with the remaining glaze. You may not have to use the entire batch of glaze.
  • Cut a small piece away from the orange fruit chew using a knife and mold it into a triangular carrot shape. Break away the point of a toothpick and insert the non-pointed end into the flat side of the carrot shape. Have this ready on hand along with the chocolate chips, pretzel stick, chocolate sprinkles and licorice lace.
  • Melt the white candy melting wafers in the microwave at 100 percent power at 30-second intervals until the candy can be stirred smooth and is pourable.
  • Place the chilled modeled snowman shape on the center of the top bundt cake. Spoon the white melted candy onto the snowman shape and allow the excess to run down the sides of the cakes.
  • Quickly add two mini chocolate chips (flat side out) for the snowman's eyes. Add the two chocolate sprinkles just over the eyes for eyebrows. Press the nose into the face just under the eyes and add the larger chocolate chip (flat side out) for an o-shaped mouth. Break the pretzel stick in half and add to each side of the body, with one arm sticking upright and the other onto the lower part of the body as if it has melted off. Add the three remaining mini chocolate chips for buttons down the front of the snowman body. Add a licorice lace scarf around the neck.
  • Cut the fun-size candy bar in half and have ready on hand with the vanilla cookie.
  • Heat the dark chocolate in the microwave at 100 percent power at 30-second intervals until melted and smooth. Dip the cut end of a candy bar half into the chocolate and press it on the center of the cookie, creating a hat shape. Refrigerate until set, about 5 minutes. Dip the entire cookie hat in the chocolate and remove with a fork. Place it on parchment paper and refrigerate until set, about 5 minutes. Dab a small amount of melted chocolate onto the bottom flat part of the cookie hat and hold to the snowman's head until set, about 2 minutes.
  • Display as an edible centerpiece at your next holiday gathering. Cut the cake into slices to serve, revealing the red peppermint swirled interior.
