Dessert: Snowman Cupcakes
Get creative this winter with sweet snowmen to end your holiday meal. Hidden underneath the fluffy frosting lays a gingerbread cupcake waiting to be eaten!
Ingredients
1 batch basic gingerbread cupcakes
1 batch vanilla buttercream
Finely shredded coconut
mini chocolate chips
Orange Tic Tacs
Sour candy strips
Chocolate jelly rings
Instructions
Make 1 batch basic gingerbread cupcakes as directed, lining 8 holes of the muffin pan with red paper liners and lightly coating the remaining holes with cooking spray.
Make 1 batch vanilla buttercream as directed.
When the baked cupcakes have cooled completely, in a food processor, pulse the 4 unwrapped cupcakes into fine crumbs. In a bowl, mix together the crumbs and 6 tablespoons buttercream, then roll into 8 balls (1 1/2 inch each; about 1 1/2 tablespoons).
Frost the remaining cupcakes with buttercream (about 2 tablespoons each) and coat with finely shredded coconut (about 1 teaspoon each). Use toothpicks to secure the cake balls to the cupcakes, then frost each ball with 1/2 tablespoon buttercream and coat with finely shredded coconut (about 1 teaspoon each).
Decorate using mini chocolate chips for eyes and buttons, orange Tic Tacs for noses, sour candy strips for scarves and melted chocolate for mouth. Make hats using chocolate jelly rings, buttercream and mini chocolate chips.
