Create the Base:
- Place 4 Suzy Qs at the bottom of the loaf pan.

Wrap it Up:

-
Freeze Again:
- Return the loaf pan to the freezer and let it freeze for approximately 3 hours, or until the cake is solid.
-
Unveil the Cake:
- Once the cake is frozen solid, remove it from the loaf pan by unwrapping and gently lifting it out using the plastic wrap.
-
Frosting Time:
- Place the unwrapped cake on a serving dish.
- Discard the plastic wrap.
- Frost the top, sides, and ends of the cake generously with the thawed Cool Whip. Get creative with your frosting!
