Invite this snowman in from the cold. A cake mix and ready-to-spread frosting make quick work of this clever cake.

Snowman Cake

1 (18.25-ounce) package Betty Crocker® SuperMoist® cake mix (any flavor)
Water, vegetable oil and eggs called for on cake mix package
1 tub Betty Crocker® Whipped fluffy white ready-to-spread frosting
1 cup flaked or shredded coconut
1 large black gumdrop
1 large green gumdrop
3 pieces red shoestring licorice
4 semisweet chocolate chips
2 chocolate wafer cookies

1. Heat oven to 350ºF (metal or glass pan). Grease (or lightly spray with cooking spray) bottoms only of two 8-inch or 9-inch round pans, or one 8-inch and one 9-inch round pan.
2. Make cake mix as directed on package, using water, oil and eggs. Pour into pans.
3. Bake as directed on package or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes; remove from pans to wire rack. Cool completely, about 1 hour.
4. Arrange cake rounds as pictured on large aluminum foil-covered tray or cutting board.
5. Frost with frosting. Sprinkle with coconut, pressing gently so it sticks.
6. Carefully cut black gumdrop for nose and eyebrows, cut green gumdrop for eyes, use licorice for mouth and mufffler and chocoate chips for buttons. Place cookie on each side of head for earmuffs; attach across top of head with licorice.
7. Store loosely covered.

Makes 16 servings.

High Altitude Tip: (3500-6500 ft)
Do not use 8-inch pans. Make cake mix following high altitude directions on package for 9-inch pans.

Special Touch:
Make this cake the star of a skating and sliding party! The morning of the party, make the recipe through step 5. Save the rest of the decorating for when you and your party guests come in from the cold. Decorate the smiley snowman as you sip hot chocolate and enjoy Christmas cookies.
