Ingredients
For these snowmen cupcakes we are making 6 cupcakes total. So adjust the ingredients according to how many cupcakes you'll need.
Cupcakes: Whip up your favorite cupcake recipe, for this one we are only making 6 cupcakes. You can make either vanilla cupcakes or chocolate cupcakes. They'll look great either way.
Vanilla frosting: This can be homemade buttercream frosting or store bought white frosting.
Coarse white sugar: To dip the frosting in and create a snow appearance. We used a extra course crystal sugar.
Jumbo Marshmallows: This will be the snowman's head.
Tootsie rolls: For the top hat
Twizzlers: Pulled apart, this will be used to create a cute scarf
Black frosting gel: For the snowman's arms.
Food markers: In orange and black.
Instructions
We'll start by making our snowman faces. Just grab one of the jumbo marshmallows and draw the snowman's eyes and mouth.
Then add a "carrot" nose with your orange food marker. Continue this with all of your marshmallows.
Set your snowman faces aside and start preparing the rest of your cupcakes.
Fill a piping bag with the vanilla frosting with a large round tip, or no tip at all.
Pipe a generous amount of icing onto the cupcake.
Then press the top of the cupcake, the frosting area, into a bowl of coarse sugar.
This will create a snow like appearance.
Then grab one of your snowman faces and place a small amount of frosting onto the bottom of the marshmallow.
This will be the "glue" to stick it to the cupcake.
Then pipe arms using the black frosting gel.
Add hats to your snowmen by cutting a tootsie roll in half and sticking it to the top of your cupcake with a little more frosting.
Then wrap one of the red strings from the twizzler to create a scarf for your snowman. And that's it.
Now you have adorable melted snowman cupcakes. Aren't they cute??
