I, however, didn&#8217;t want to make such a huge cake (since I&#8217;m already making about a zillion other sweets for December and Christmas) so instead, I used about half the cake batter (from a box &#8211; come on, I&#8217;m busy) and made it with the small batter bowl (1 1\/2 cups batter) and two prep bowls (1\/2 cup batter and 1\/4 cup batter). This left me with enough batter to also make 11 cupcakes, which I took to the school for a PTA function. Worked out well.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/christine.kimballlarsen.com\/old\/_Media\/dscf8744.jpeg\" alt=\"DSCF8744\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m pleased with the snowman &#8211; he&#8217;s got licorice for his mouth, nose, and scarf; chocolate chips for eyes; junior mints for buttons; candles for arms (she&#8217;s 2 so it worked out perfectly); and half an oreo and a marshmallow, dipped in chocolate flavored almond bark for his hat. It turned out very nicely, and Erica was kind enough to make a little sign that says Happy Birthday.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/christine.kimballlarsen.com\/old\/_Media\/dscf8757.jpeg\" alt=\"DSCF8757\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today is Cambria&#8217;s birthday, and in her honor I made a snowman cake.
