Snowman Cupcake Treats

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Snowman Cupcake Treats.

1. Step 1

   Start by trimming the tops off 12 cupcakes to create a nice, flat surface.

2. Step 2

   Next, gently crumble the soft cake interiors into a bowl.

3. Step 3

   To this crumbled cake, add about 5 ounces of vanilla frosting and mix until everything is well combined.

4. Step 4

   If the mixture feels a bit dry, don’t hesitate to add a little more frosting until it’s easy to shape into balls.

5. Step 5

   Once your mixture is ready, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and pop it in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes to chill.

6. Step 6

   While that’s cooling, take the remaining 12 cupcakes and frost them with a thin layer of vanilla frosting to create a lovely snowy base.

7. Step 7

   After the cake mixture has chilled, take it out and roll it into two sizes of balls: 12 larger ones for the snowman’s body and 12 smaller ones for the heads.

8. Step 8

   Stack a small ball on top of a larger one, using a bit of frosting to help them stick together if needed.

9. Step 9

   Now, place each adorable snowman on top of a frosted cupcake.

10. Step 10

    For the snowman’s face, cut small squares from black licorice laces to make eyes and a mouth, and attach them to the head using a knife.

11. Step 11

    To create cute carrot noses, mix a bit of orange food coloring into white fondant, then shape small pieces and press them onto the snowman faces.

12. Step 12

    For buttons, attach two candy-coated chocolate pieces to the torso and cupcake, and place two more on either side of the head, connecting them with a piece of black licorice to form cozy earmuffs.

13. Step 13

    Finally, cut red licorice laces into 2 ½-inch long pieces and wrap them around the snowman’s neck to create a festive scarf.

14. Step 14

    Enjoy your delightful winter treats that are sure to bring smiles to everyone!.
