Party Panache, “Snownut” Cake

the Painted Apron

3 years ago

We celebrated my son in law, NG’s, birthday last weekend

CC and I made him a lemon cake

covered with white buttercream and white chocolate chips…

It looked just like a giant powdered donut!

It’s made with lemon cake mix,

lemon jello, lemon juice, eggs, butter,

white chocolate chips, and sour cream {not pictured}

CC got her very own baking things for Christmas

and she was very excited to put on her new apron

and help make her Daddy’s cake

White chocolate chips were stirred into the prepared batter

and some were reserved for garnishing

Once the cake had cooled,

we covered the cake with a simple lemon buttercream,

and pressed white chocolate chips all over the frosted cake

A winter wonderland cake!

I couldn’t resist take pictures of it outside

with the sugar white sands of Orange Beach in the background
