It had been a while since I felt the burning ambition to decorate a cake. Lord knows I'm all about shortcuts these days -- which is why when I saw this in the Kraft Kitchens' holiday edition I knew this recipe would be quick to bake, slower to decorate. And though the purists may be choking on their homemade shortcrust pastry right now, sometimes that's about all you can ask of me.
The beauty of this dessert is that it is lovely, covered by fragile white-chocolate piped snowflakes that will hide a not-so-perfectly frosted cake.
