Snow Globe Cake

UPDATED:  Tutorial Here!

Its hard for me to believe that Christmas is almost here.  Just a few short days away!

I have been so behind on all my baking (as well as buying gifts, cleaning my house, homeschooling, debating crumbs… you name it!)  but I still wanted to make a dessert that folks would enjoy.  At least, I hope they do!

This took all of one hour to make.  From beginning to end.

I slaved and slaved over a hot stove for at least seven minutes.

And for the inside, well that was even more ridiculous hard work.

I actually had to get in there and play with my food!  Well, play with the rice krispy’s that is!

Can you tell what it is?

It’s a snow globe with a snowman inside.  Next time I will definitely make the black hat for Mr. Snowman.  He seems a little naked without it.  And make his eyes.  And a carrot nose.  Well, maybe he seems naked cause he is naked.

I gotta stop saying naked!

Anywho, I would be delighted to share a tutorial on this cake with you, hopefully next week!  Is anyone going to be around next week?

What all do you do over your Christmas break?  Going anywhere fun?

  4. So cute…although I am not a coconut fan (gasp I know) ;) so I would just replace that with extra fluffy frosting!! :) We are headed back to SD to be with family for a LONG weekend. It should be fun and hopefully we aren’t sick of each other by Tuesday morning! :) Have a very Merry Christmas friend!

    Oh my gosh, Amanda, how did you even achieve that? I would love to read a tutorial on your snowman if only to see how you did that, haha! (Did you mould it from the inside out putting on layer over layer?)
    It looks amazing and very wintry and the covering looks like it could be snow ^_^

  30. kangli says:

    Nice! I was thinking how can you bake and stuff a cake in one hour like what I’ve seen somewhere, but the rice krispies idea is cool too.

    And a random comment: When I jumped here I got reminded of how much I like the design of your blog!

  31. Hi,

Merry Christmas to you and yours, and a very happy New Year xx

  34. Amanda P. says:

  35. Such a lovely cake. I can’t wait to watch the tutorial. Merry Christmas to you and your family.

  36. Linda says:

    Totally amazing!
    Fabulous snow globe!

  37. Linda says:

    Happy, joyous & festive holiday to you & your family!!

  38. JP says:

    A suggestion Amanda if I may. Instead of just I am Baker Updates in the subjest line…perhaps you could also mention the topic. I save all your emails but have a difficult time finding what I want when I need it. So perhaps you could say today for instance..”.I am Baker…Snow Globe Cake”

    You are very creative and obviously a great baker. I love getting your emails. Blessed and Merry Christmas and a most wonderful New Year!

  39. Sue says:

    Of COURSE I can tell it’s a snowman in a snowglobe! You’re something else, Amanda, something great:) I look forward to seeing the tutorial and what you have in store next. Next week I will be visiting my son and his family in Las Vegas and trying out the macarons at the Bouchon Bakery:)

  40. tia says:

    beautiful! it is a wonderful name for a wonderful cake.

  41. Morgan says:

    oo.. me me me!! I would love a tutorial on this!
    what a terrific idea! And very well executed!
    Thanks for this!

  42. Megan says:

  43. how cute and festive… it almost looks too adorable to eat. oh wait, it’s cake. and me.

  44. Danielle says:

    I certainly will be around next week now! This is beautiful!

  45. Steph says:

    Looks very cute. Did you make a snowman, then wrap him in a ball of green rice krispies and then finally mount it on a stand? And then cover everything and shape it into a cake :) Sounds delicious to me.

  46. grace says:

    i’m always around, or at least i make it a point to be when there’s a chance to learn something new–this is an impressive cake!

  47. It’s perfect, just the way it is! Merry Christmas to you and yours Amanda! Can’t wait to see what you wow us with in the coming year ;)

  48. Meagan says:

    I know this definitely isn’t the most appropriate place to mention this. First, I LOVE your blog. Used to check it religiously. Every day :) But I have to say I really don’t like the new layout. I want to be able to scroll through a few of your blogs, rather than click back, and then click on the next post. Or at least there should be a way to click to the next most recent post, rather than having to click back to your home page and then scroll down and then find the next most recent post and then back again. It’s tedious, and I’ve found myself not eager to read your blog since the update. Thank you for all the wonderful recipes and ideas – I just wish I could access them better and more readily…

  49. Meagan says:

    Um, please excuse my last comment. My inaneness is clear. :) I figured it out!!! DUR :)

  50. I absolutely love this cake! You are so creative! Merry Christmas.
