Snowman Cupcakes

I must be loving Snowmen this year! 

I think I love snowmen because they work at any time during the winter.  I think snowmen are perfectly acceptable for all of December and January...perhaps longer! 

I made this super cute Snowman Cupcakes and couldn't help but share them with you.

To make these you will need:

• White cake mix (you can use another kind but I like how this keeps everything light and white)
• White frosting (I just used it out of a can.  What can I say, I love homemade frosting, but this is so simple and easy and we all know I am a fan of making things as easy as possible.  Plus, I am a sucker for frosting from a can...it is yummy!)
• White sprinkles (I used a Wilton brand)
• Large round sprinkles (Again, a Wilton brand, I used the pink ones for the cheeks)
• Gumdrops in assorted colors
• Twizzlers in assorted colors
• Chocolate chips or brown M&M's
• Brown gel icing in the small tube
• Toothpicks

1. Bake the cupcakes (I used red foil liners) and let them cool.
2. Frost and immediately cover with white sprinkles.  Hint: if you do this over a plate you can re-use the sprinkles!
3. Using extra frosting, attach an orange gumdrop for the nose, pink round sprinkles for the cheeks and two chocolate chips or M&M's for eyes.
4. Draw a mouth with the brown gel icing.
5. Take a colored Twizzler and push it down into the cupcake on both sides as far as it will go.  Use a toothpick to help hold the Twizzler in place in the back.
6. Using extra frosting, attach matching gumdrops for the earmuffs!
