Servings: persons

2 large eggs
2 large egg yolks
1 cup sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 cup whole milk
5 tablespoons butter, melted
4 cups sugar
2 cups water
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
3 cups confectioners' sugar
1 tube each red and green decorating frosting
Holiday sprinkles

1
In a large bowl, beat eggs and egg yolks until slightly thickened. Gradually add sugar, beating until thick and lemon-colored. Combine flour and baking powder; gradually add to egg mixture with milk and butter, beating well after each addition. (Batter will be thick).
2
Spread evenly into a greased and floured 15x10x1-in. baking pan. Bake at 350u00b0 for 12-15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
3
Cool for 10 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely. Cut a thin slice off each side of cake. Cut cake into 1-1/4-in. squares. Freeze cakes.
4
In a large saucepan, combine the sugar, water and cream of tartar. Bring to a boil, without stirring, until a candy thermometer reads 226u00b0. Cool to 100u00b0; beat in confectioners' sugar until smooth.
5
Keeping glaze warm, dip cake squares into glaze with a two-tine fork, allowing excess to drip off. Place on wire racks over waxed paper. Add hot water, 1 teaspoon at a time, if glaze becomes too thick. Let dry completely. Decorate with frosting and sprinkles.
