Directions
1.
Heat oven to 350 degrees F (325 degrees F for dark or nonstick pans). Bake and cool cake mix as directed on box for two 8- or 9-inch round pans.
2.
Cover 18x10-inch tray or cardboard with foil. Attach candy cane to each cone using melted candy coating to make ice skates; let stand until set. Arrange cake rounds with sides touching on tray. Frost with frosting. Sprinkle with coconut, pressing gently so it stays on frosting.
3.
Use large black gumdrops for eyes and buttons, large orange gumdrop for nose, small black gumdrops for mouth and fruit snack roll for scarf. Place cookie on each side of head for earmuffs; attach with shoestring licorice. Arrange pretzel rods for arms and cones for ice skates.

Tip:
High Altitude (3500-6500 ft): Follow High Altitude cake mix directions.
