Winter Cake

"I made this cake for my daughter Kezia's 4th birthday. It was a winter themed party and my husband even built a little toboggan slide in our backyard. This is a fun cake to make and a real show piece! A little time consuming, but worth every smile on my daughter's face! Prep time does not include cooling time."
