Snow Day! Icicle Cake

Lovely frosty Icicle Cake, perfect for a Snow Day!  Not a candy cane or holly wreath in site!

Here it is as Dexo intended.

 And here it is decked out with some of my vintage snowmen!

I couldn't make out the cake recipe on the original image so I just used a prefab triple chocolate cake mix and tub cream cheese icing.  I did home-make the chocolate icing on the side from this recipe.  I don't think it gets more comfort-confectionary-food than chocolate cake with white icing.
