Try using Betty Crocker™ Decorating Bags and Decorating Tips for this adorable cake.
Applying a thin layer of frosting to a cake and refrigerating helps to seal in the crumbs before the final decorating.
No large gumdrops on hand? Try using 1 gummy orange slice for the snowman’s nose.
Get creative and try using other sprinkles to decorate this cake, such as Betty Crocker™ Sprinkles Classic Pearls or Betty Crocker™ White Candy Sprinkles for the snowman’s face. Try sprinkling Betty Crocker™ Holly Berry & Leaves or Fusion Sprinkle Holiday Mix for the brim of the hat and edge of cake.
Not sure where two-thirds is on top of the cake? Use toothpick to draw a faint line across top of cake, and use this as a guide when spreading frosting.
Short on time? Make and bake cake layers the day before. Once cooled completely, store loosely covered on a cookie sheet at room temperature. The next day, continue with recipe.
An easy way to put candy sprinkles on side of cake is to hold the plated cake over a small bowl of sprinkles. Cup your hand, and press the sprinkles on bottom of the cake, using the bowl to catch extras. Keep using what is in the bowl as you press sprinkles all around the edge.
To keep your serving plate clean while frosting the cake, place strips of waxed paper around edge of plate. Remove after frosting and sprinkling edge of cake with sprinkles is complete.
