Ingredients

  • 3 box cake mix OR
  • 6 cup flour
  • 5 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 1/2 tsp salt
  • 6 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 2 cup butter, softened
  • 4 cup sugar
  • 10 eggs
  • 5 tsp vanilla
  • 2 cup milk
  • 3 cup cinnamon chips
  • 3 can vanilla frosting
  • 1/4 cup melted milk chocolate
  • 6 pretzel sticks
  • 1 colored icing
  • 3 long wooden sticks

Method

  • Combine flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon in a bowl.
  • Beat butter and sugar.
  • Slowly add in eggs and vanilla.
  • Once smooth, add in milk and beat until smooth.
  • Lightly coat cinnamon chips in flour and add to the cake mix and stir in.
  • The cakes should fill 3 9 inch round baking pans, but it doesn't really matter what shape you bake them in so feel free to use whatever you have.
  • Make sure all pans are generously greased before putting batter in.
  • Bake each cake at 350F for about 40 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  • Let cakes cool completely (a few hours).
  • Once cooled, cut off edges of cake so you only have the softest parts.
  • Cut these into small pieces and make cake into a crumble in a large bowl.
  • Add about 1/3-1/2 of a can of frosting to 1 cake's worth of crumbles and mix until you are able to mold it.
  • Mold the cakes into 3 different size balls (optional: plus a hat) and refrigerate the balls for at least 4 hours.
  • Once hardened, ice the balls with more vanilla frosting and stack 3 largest to smallest onto the center of a wooden stick.
  • Make sure the stick doesn't show.
  • Dip pretzels and hats in melted chocolate and let cool.
  • Assemble them onto snowman as a hat and arms.
  • Add more cinnamon chips as eyes and buttons.
  • Add the colored frosting as a scarf.
