Answers:
Snowball Cake
3 envelopes Lucky Whip (2 for inside cake, one for top) (or 6 cups cool whip)
1 (20oz) (2 ? cups) can crushed pineapple
Juice of one lemon
1 cup sugar
1 cup boiling water
1 large angel food cake
2 TBSP. unflavored gelatin
4 TBSP. cold water
1 bag shredded coconut (optional)
maraschino cherries (optional)
Soften gelatin in cold water. Add boiling water and stir until dissolved. Add sugar, lemon juice and pineapple including juice. Chill until partially firm.
Whip 2 of the envelopes of Lucky Whip (or use 4 cups cool whip) according to the directions on the package. Fold into gelatin mixture.
Line a 13” X 9” X 2” cake pan with wax paper. Cut or break cake into small pieces. Place alternate layers of cake and gelatin mixture in pan until all is used. Chill overnight.
Next morning, prepare the last envelope of Lucky Whip (or use 2 cups cool whip) and spread over the top of cake. Sprinkle with coconut and garnish with marashino cherries. Refrigerate until served..
***Option- you can also divide the coconut in half and color half of it green and half of it red for Christmas and sprinkle it on the cake that way. With the red and/or green marachino cherries garnish or with sugar silver balls (sprinkles)
***Note- 1 med fresh coconut yields enough coconut for 2 cakes.

Searching on recipes can produce a lot of sites. I have certain ones I know are consistent winners. The company websites are great, but here are a few others:
www.allrecipes.com
www.kopykatrecipes.com
A good magazine to search for old recipes with is "Taste of Home".
A long time ago I made something similar called igloos. They were made with creamed butter, sugar, crushed pineapple. Then layered onto butter cookies, then ice them with whipped topping and coconut flakes. Put a cherry on top and your done.
