Nora's cakeAs I write this, it’s my granddaughter’s 8th birthday, and she wanted a snowman cake.  Back in the day, I remember painstakingly cutting out pieces of cake (oh, the crumbs!) in order to create a cake design that would make my daughters’ birthday fun.  This one was super easy!  Even better, no cutting at all.

I made the cake the day before, covered the rounds with cling wrap, and froze them.   I covered the backside of my cookie sheet with a pretty shade of blue mylar.  Really made the cake pop.  When I was ready to frost, I left the cakes frozen.   So much easier–the rounds were firm and easy to work with.  Even better, the coconut is very forgiving.  Any imperfections were completely hidden.   Then I started to decorate.  That’s when making the cake got fun.  (Note:  I was going to use a carrot for the snowman’s nose when I shot this photo.  I ended up using an orange gumdrop, instead.)

Needless to say, my granddaughter loved it!
