Winter got you down? Well, here's a way to add some sugar to the cold, dark days: Snowman Cupcakes!
Snowman-ify the cupcakes of your choice with this super-easy tutorial from Philadelphia's Bredenbeck's Bakery--not only is it easy, but it's fun and delicious when you're snowed in.
Here's how you do it.
You’ll need:
- A dozen of your favorite cupcakes
- 16 oz. vanilla icing
- 22 oz. (two packages) white chocolate chips
- Red shoestring licorice, black gel icing, candies for decorating
- Start with your favorite cupcake recipe and bake according to instructions
- Flip your cooled cupcakes upside down, and spoon a dollop of icing on top to add height
- Place the iced cupcakes in the freezer until icing is firm
- Melt white chocolate in a double boiler
- Place frozen iced cupcakes on a wire rack
- Spoon melted white chocolate over top of iced cupcakes, allowing excess to drizzle through wire rack
- Wrap a few pieces of shoestring licorice around for a scarf, create a face, nose and buttons using the black gel icing and candies.
