Snowman Cupcake

By Carla

Easy and adorable snowmen cupcakes are fun to make. Start with your favorite cupcake recipe frosted with white icing, then make the snowmen out of marshmallows.

Ingredients

• 12 cupcakes, baked from your favorite recipe
• 1 can or batch white icing
• 24 large marshmallows
• waxed paper
• 24 pretzel sticks
• black decorators' gel
• 6 orange slice candy
• 12 junior Mints
• 12 thin Mints
• fruit leather

Preparation

Step 1

Frost a cooled cupcake, baked from your favorite recipe, with white icing. Flatten a large marshmallow on waxed paper with the palm of your hand. Cut a second marshmallow in half horizontally, then stack the halves on the first marshmallow to form a torso and head.

Push a thin pretzel stick down through the snowman (this will help him stand up), then set him on the cupcake.

Use decorators' gel to create a mouth, eyes and buttons, then add pretzel stick arms and a wedge cut from an orange slice candy for a nose.

Accessorize with a candy hat (a Junior Mint secured to a Thin Mint with icing) and a fruit leather scarf.
