Expert Tips

  • Tip 1
    Tip: Make this cake the star of a skating and tobogganing party! The morning of the party, bake and frost the cake. 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.
