Pound Cake Snowman

Are you looking for a cute, fun holiday project for your kids? How about making a pound cake snowman?  This recipe from Sara Lee will tell you how.

Ingredients

• 2 Sara Lee Pound Cakes
• 1 large egg white
• 1 1/3 cups sifted powdered sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2/3 cup coconut flakes (optional)
• 2 small candy canes (for arms)
• 3-4 gum drops (for buttons)
• 2 peppermint bites (for eyes)
• 5-6 strands red strin licorice (mouth,scarf and hat)
• ice cream scoops (1 of each size – large 4 1/2″, medium 3 1/2″, small 2 1/2″)
• 1 wooden skewer

Method

Place three ice cream scoops on top of the pound cake to set up location. Using the largest scoop, cut a circle out of the pound cake. Next use the medium size scoop to make a second circle and lastly use the smallest scoop to cut the third and final circle. Using a small knife, smooth any edges to make the ball.

To make the frosting, beat egg white, powdered sugar and vanilla on medium until firm and can maintain stiff peaks. Frost each circle with white frosting.

Build the snowman by sliding the skewer through the largest ball so it’s positioned at the bottom, then the medium and finally the small one on top. Decorate your snowman with the candies, starting at the top and working your way down. Add coconut at the bottom of the platter for extra snow.
