Melting Snowman Cake

Melting Snowman Cake
A double-stack of peppermint-swirled bundts make for an impressive "hill" on which to place an adorable snowman. Sure, he's a little panicked dripping down the sides (!) -- but we can't help but smile at his cute face.

Cuisine: American
Recipe type: Cake
Ingredients
  • 5¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups (4 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 5 cups granulated sugar
  • 12 large eggs
  • 1½ cups whole milk
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoons mint extract
  • 2 tablespoons red liquid food color
  • Flour-based baking spray, for the pans
  • 2 to 2½ ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
Glaze and Decors:
  • 4 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ⅓ cup half-and-half
  • 1 square orange-flavored fruit chew
  • 5 mini semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 semisweet chocolate chip
  • 1 pretzel stick
  • 2 chocolate sprinkles
  • 1 red licorice lace
  • 12 ounces white candy melting wafers
  • 1 mini (fun-size) peanut-caramel-nougat candy bar
  • 1 round vanilla wafer cookie
  • 4 ounces dark chocolate
Instructions
  1. Special equipment: a 10-cup bundt pan; a 4-cup (mini) bundt pan; a cupcake pan
  2. For the cakes: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt. In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the butter, oil, granulated sugar and eggs together until well combined. Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture alternately with the milk. Begin and end with the flour mixture. Add the vanilla extract and mix briefly to combine.
  4. Line a cupcake pan with 7 paper liners. Fill the cupcake liners ⅔ full with batter.
  5. Remove 2⅔ cups batter from the bowl and place it in a separate bowl. Stir in the mint extract and red food color.
  6. Spray a 4-cup bundt pan and a 10-cup bundt pan with flour-based baking spray. Alternate layers of vanilla batter and mint (red) batter in each bundt pan until the pans are about ¾ full. Use a butter knife to gently swirl the two batter colors together.
  7. Bake the cupcakes for 15 to 20 minutes, the 4-cup bundt for 30 to 35 minutes and the 10-cup bundt for 50 minutes to 1 hour or until a toothpick tester comes out clean. When the cakes are done, turn them out onto wire racks to cool completely.
  8. When the cupcakes are cool, crumble them into a large bowl and add 2 ounces of cream cheese. Mix together using a rubber spatula or knead together with your hands. Squeeze a small handful of the mixture in your hand. It should hold together. If it doesn't and the mixture is crumbly, knead in the remaining ½ ounce cream cheese.
  9. Form three roughly ball-shaped pieces from the mixture that are small, medium and large as the segments of a snowman. Flatten the bottom of the largest ball so that it appears to pool and slump to one side. Add the medium ball on top and flatten slightly. Add the smallest ball on top and dowel the three pieces together with a toothpick. Refrigerate until firm, about 15 to 20 minutes.
  10. For the glaze and decors: Combine the powdered sugar and vanilla extract in a large bowl. Gradually whisk in the half-and-half a little at a time until a thick white glaze forms. Place the largest bundt cake on a cake stand or serving platter with a lip. Cover the top of the bundt cake with half of the glaze. Top the glazed bunt cake with the second smaller bundt cake. Top the second cake with the remaining glaze. You may not have to use the entire batch of glaze.
  11. Cut a small piece away from the orange fruit chew using a knife and mold it into a triangular carrot shape. Break away the point of a toothpick and insert the non-pointed end into the flat side of the carrot shape. Have this ready on hand along with the chocolate chips, pretzel stick, chocolate sprinkles and licorice lace.
  12. Melt the white candy melting wafers in the microwave at 100 percent power at 30-second intervals until the candy can be stirred smooth and is pourable.
  13. Place the chilled modeled snowman shape on the center of the top bundt cake. Spoon the white melted candy onto the snowman shape and allow the excess to run down the sides of the cakes.
  14. Quickly add two mini chocolate chips (flat side out) for the snowman's eyes. Add the two chocolate sprinkles just over the eyes for eyebrows. Press the nose into the face just under the eyes and add the larger chocolate chip (flat side out) for an o-shaped mouth. Break the pretzel stick in half and add to each side of the body, with one arm sticking upright and the other onto the lower part of the body as if it has melted off. Add the three remaining mini chocolate chips for buttons down the front of the snowman body. Add a licorice lace scarf around the neck.
  15. Cut the fun-size candy bar in half and have ready on hand with the vanilla cookie.
  16. Heat the dark chocolate in the microwave at 100 percent power at 30-second intervals until melted and smooth. Dip the cut end of a candy bar half into the chocolate and press it on the center of the cookie, creating a hat shape. Refrigerate until set, about 5 minutes. Dip the entire cookie hat in the chocolate and remove with a fork. Place it on parchment paper and refrigerate until set, about 5 minutes. Dab a small amount of melted chocolate onto the bottom flat part of the cookie hat and hold to the snowman's head until set, about 2 minutes.
  17. Display as an edible centerpiece at your next holiday gathering. Cut the cake into slices to serve, revealing the red peppermint swirled interior.

Snowman Eggnog

Snowman Eggnog
Give this comforting drink some extra personality with whipped cream, a few chocolate chips and a dried apricot. With the kids' help, you can make an adorable snowman. Add a little booze and the adults will love it too!
Author:
Cuisine: American
Recipe type: Dessert
Ingredients
  • 2 large eggs plus 1 large egg yolk
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 2½ cups milk
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
  • 1 ounce mini chocolate chips, plus 8 mini chocolate chips for garnish
  • ½ cup cold rum or brandy (optional)
  • 1 dried apricot, cut into 4 wedges
Instructions
  1. Special equipment: a pastry bag fitted with the large star tip; a small paintbrush, optional
  2. Whisk the eggs, egg yolk and sugar in a bowl until combined. Heat the milk and ½ cup heavy cream in a medium saucepan over medium heat until steaming; do not boil. Remove from the heat. Whisk 1 cup of the hot milk mixture into the egg mixture, then whisk the egg mixture back into the saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until the mixture is thick enough to coat the back of the spoon and a thermometer registers 165 degrees F, about 5 minutes. (Do not boil or the eggs will curdle.)
  3. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a medium bowl and stir in the vanilla and nutmeg. Let cool at room temperature, about 1 hour. Cover and refrigerate until cold, at least 2 hours or up to 1 week.
  4. Place the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl; microwave, stirring every 20 seconds, until just melted. Arrange four 8- to 10-ounce glasses (or lowball glasses) on a workspace. Using the tip of your pinky or a small paintbrush dipped in chocolate, paint 3 buttons and two arms on the inside of each glass.
  5. If desired, stir rum into the chilled eggnog mixture. Divide the eggnog evenly among the glasses. Whisk the remaining 1½ cups heavy cream in a large bowl until stiff peaks form. Fit a pastry bag with a large star tip, and fill the bag with whipped cream. Pipe a generous swirl of whipped cream on each glass of eggnog to make the snowmen's heads. Directly above each row of snowman buttons, place an apricot wedge into each whipped cream head to form a nose. Place two mini chips above each nose to form eyes. Serve immediately.
