Snowmen make me smile … so do cupcakes!
Let me apologize now for the photo … the light was coming and going. The snowmen do not … I repeat do not have dandruff on their hats! It is edible glitter that did not photograph well. It looks better in person … really. As I have said before … I (obviously) am not a photographer … I am sorry. There are more photos at the end … some may be a little better to see.
This is what you will need …
- Cupcakes
- Frosting (ready-made or homemade)
- Black Licorice
- Candy coated sunflower seeds
- Black sugar pearls (or black icing, or mini chocolate chips)
- White edible glitter
I wanted to make a smoother frosting … so I put about 1/2 cup of frosting in a bowl and put it in the microwave for 15 seconds …
Spread it on the cupcakes …
Cut the licorice into pieces … 2-1/2″ and 1-1/2″ pieces …
Arrange the licorice for hats … and give him (or her) a face …
Add some glitter to make them sparkle …
Does it still look like dandruff?
I look forward to your comments!

I love these! What a fun idea. I’m having the girls at my daugther’s 4th birthday party decorate their own. Probably won’t look quite as good, but it’s all for fun!
