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 according to the package instructions. Use a measuring cup or an ice cream scoop to distribute the batter evenly among the cupcake liners.
- Bake the cupcakes in the preheated oven according to the suggested time on the box. Insert a toothpick into the center of a cupcake to check for doneness. If it comes out clean, the cupcakes are ready. Remove them from the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack.
- While the cupcakes are cooling, prepare the frosting.
- Once the cupcakes are completely cooled, use a spatula or a butter knife to frost the cupcakes with the frosting, creating a smooth surface.
Create the hat
- Cut the gummy streamers to fit across the cupcakes. Place one gummy streamer on each cupcake about ⅓ from one side. Add sprinkles or jimmies in a color that matches the gummy streamer along the exposed top of the cupcake.
Create the eyes and mouth
- Use chocolate chips or black icing gel to create eyes and mouth on the snowman. Place them under the hats.
- Place a piece of candy corn for the nose. Sprinkle the snowman face with sprinkling sugar if desired.
- Let the decorated cupcakes set for a few minutes to ensure the frosting and decorations are secure.
