Well, we&#8217;ll be using store-bought chocolate cake mix and premade vanilla frosting. This is really more about the crafting and decorating than the baking.

Bake the cakes at 350\u00b0F for 20 to 25 minutes and the cupcakes for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool the cakes in the pans for 10 minutes before removing them to wire racks to cool completely.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 2: Frost the round cakes<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2041590\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Snowman-Cake_TOHD24_17158_ChristineMa_2.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Frost round cakes\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Christine Ma for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Place one round cake off center and 1 inch from the bottom of a 25&#215;6-inch covered board.

Cut an approximately 6&#215;4-inch piece from the large rectangle and place it above the hat brim. For the scarf, cut the remaining cake piece in half diagonally and position the sections to the side of where the circles meet.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 4: Finish frosting, then decorate the cake<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2041592\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Snowman-Cake_TOHD24_17158_ChristineMa_4.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Decorate cake\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Christine Ma for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Frost the hat with chocolate frosting.

Just make sure it&#8217;s in an airtight container or wrapping.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you freeze this snowman cake?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes. This snowman cake will freeze well for up to three months. It&#8217;s best to first freeze leftovers uncovered on a plate for several hours, then to wrap them up. This helps prevent the frosting from sticking to the wrapping.<\/p>\n<h2>Snowman Cake Tips<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2041593\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Snowman-Cake_TOHD24_17158_ChristineMa_6.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Snowman cake by Taste Recipes\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Christine Ma for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Can I use a different cake flavor?<\/h3>\n<p>Of course, there&#8217;s no need to use chocolate cake mix.
