24 Servings
Prep: 1 hour
Ingredients
1 to 2 cans vanilla frosting (16 ounces
each
)
Cupcakes of your choice
SNOWMEN:
Coarse sugar
Chocolate wafers
Semisweet chocolate chips and miniature semisweet chocolate chips
Orange candy slices
Additional vanilla frosting
Blue food coloring, pearl dragees, blue jumbo diamond sprinkles and edible glitter, optional
Directions
Frost cupcakes, reserving some frosting for decorating as desired.
For snowmen cupcakes: Dip the top of each cupcake in coarse sugar;
gently shake off excess sugar. For stovepipe hats, microwave
chocolate wafers for a few seconds to slightly soften as needed. Use
a serrated knife to cut two narrow strips from opposite sides of
each wafer. (Large center piece will form crown of hat; one strip
will form the brim.)
Add chips and mini chips to cupcake to form eyes and mouth. Cut a
small piece of orange slice to form the nose.
Stick brim of hat, rounded side up, into top of cupcake; insert hat
crown into the top edge. Secure with additional frosting. Color
