SnoVille Sno Cake

To make a world famous SnoVille Sno Cake you can use your favorite cake recipe or a cake mix. To stay within the theme, use a white cake or you can use any flavor you desire. A two or three layer round is best for decorating it. Use whichever flavor of filling you like or use the same icing you intend to frost it with. To frost it, use regular icing or whipped cream frosting. Do the top in white and the sides in an icy blue. Pipe the top and bottom edges with either shells or stars. Top enhance the top, use shredded cocoanut or *edible glitter (see recipe below). Use a wide piece of blue ribbon around the side as in the picture above and decorate it with snowflakes. You may draw them on, rubber stamp them on, stencil them or use your computer to print some out. I think rubber stamped with embossing powder in a pearly glitter would be really pretty. If you own an air brush, you can use food coloring to spray on the sides to make a lacy pattern in which case, you do not need to frost in blue, just use blue in the air brush. Put some figurines of some sort on the top of the cake in the manner of the example and you have a "Sno Cake".
