Fresh Powder

You can whip up these mini men in minutes. Roll pieces of marzipan into balls and dip them into confectioners' sugar; connect with toothpicks. Use marzipan dyed red to shape the hat and scarf and dyed orange for the nose. Finishing touches: brown toothpick arms and tiny chocolate chips for the eyes, mouth, and buttons.

Snow-Day Sandwich Snack

Snow-Day Sandwich Snack

Turn an ordinary lunch into a special occasion with a snowman sandwich. Stamp out six pieces of bread using the rims of different-size glasses. Spread peanut butter on one side of three circles, lay a skewer down the middle, and add top slices. Use cheese spread for the nose and mini chocolate chips for the buttons, eyes, and mouth. Personalize by adding a paper hat and a scarf with your child's name on it.

Arctic Circles Snowman Cake

To create this crowd-pleaser, start by spreading vanilla icing on cake; sprinkle with silver dragées and dust edges with coconut. Form your Frosty using a star tip pastry bag (first, trace outlines around the rims of small plates). Add mini M&M's for buttons and eyes.

Instructions for making the white-chocolate hat and bow tie: In cup, melt 3 ounces chopped white chocolate in the microwave on High for 30 to 45 seconds or until melted. Stir until smooth, then pour chocolate into a ziplock bag. On a piece of paper, draw a template for a hat and bow tie. Line a sheet pan with waxed paper, and place the template underneath the paper. Snip off a corner of the ziplock bag to make a small opening; gently squeeze out chocolate to trace your template. Fill in outline until chocolate is smooth. If necessary, use a toothpick to shape pieces. Refrigerate hat and bow tie for 15 minutes or until hard.
