Instructions
Cupcakes
- Preheat the oven according to the instructions on the cake mix box. Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
- Prepare the cake batter following the instructions on the box. Typically, you'll need to mix the cake mix with eggs, oil, and water until well combined.
- Fill the cupcake liners about two-thirds full with the cake batter. Bake the cupcakes in the preheated oven as per the package instructions.
- Use a toothpick to check if they're done – it should come out clean when inserted into the center of a cupcake.
- Once baked, let the cupcakes cool completely on a wire rack.
- Once the cupcakes are completely cooled, decorate the cupcakes with various frostings, decorations, and designs to resemble Christmas sweaters.
To Make Bows
- Divide each gummy stream in half through the length.
- Snip a small square from one streamer and reserve for the bow knot. Fol
- Fold the rest of the cut streamer in half and place on the cupcake.
- With the remaining streamer, bring the ends together in the middle, folding it into the bow and pressing together in the middle where the seams meet.
- Place the small square on top of the seams and press to make it stick. Place the bow on top of the streamer on the cupcake.
- Allow the decorated cupcakes to set for a little while, so the decorations stay in place.
