Cute Snowman Cake or Snowman Cookies Recipe
 [1] What looks like a snowman cake is actually a stacked cookie from Lila Loa. But you can baked a three-layer cake instead, with graduated layers.

If you don’t celebrate Christmas, Chanukah, or other year-end holiday, you can still have a special seasonal cake.
Make one with a nonsectarian snowman or snowflake motif. These work for New Year’s Eve, too (perhaps with a sparkler or two). Snowmen are easier; snowflakes require some serious piping chops. This photo is actually a stacked cookie from Lila Loa. We love the idea. Just make three different sizes of gingersnaps or other flat cookie; ice them with royal icing, stack them and decorate them. But we needed a cake. So we baked and stacked three graduated cake layers. We made lemon pound cake* layers with coconut frosting (vanilla frosting topped with coconut). Of course, carrot cake, chocolate cake, red velvet or any flavor you prefer would be just as nice. *We wanted a dense, easy-to-cut cake rather than an airy one with a delicate crumb.
