Frosted Dreams………
I’ve had fantasies of skating in a beautiful out door rink, background music plays, snow gently falls and I feel the icy cold wind blowing on my face while I hear the criss cross sound of blades hitting ice. We finish chilled to the bone, stop for hot cocoa by a fire and sitting there are the most gorgeous cupcakes!
That’s right……cupcakes! Ever since Kristan shared her incredibly cute snowman cupcakes I haven’t been able to get them off my mind.
Here in St. Louis, we’ve had lots of cold and very little snow. So I thought if I was making snowman cupcakes, why not a few snowballs too!
How to make Snowball Cupcakes
Perfect Cupcakes using a mix (I used Duncan Hines Moist Deluxe French Vanilla)
- I added Americolor Bright White Soft Gel Paste to the butter cream to get a nice white frosting.
- Next I pipped a lot of frosting on top of the cupcake
- Using my offset spatula I shaped the pile of frosting into a round dome shape as smooth as I could (doesn’t have to be perfect…..when have you ever seen a perfect snowball)
- Pour White Sanding Sugar in Shallow bowl or plate
- Roll cupcake in Sanding Sugar
- place in cute Wilton Cupcake cup
AND………..because I was really feeling frosty……….

Head over to Confessions of a Cookbook Queen to read Kristan’s fabulous instructions on how to make these snowman cupcakes.
Just don’t laugh when you see how much cuter hers are than mine! {wink}
My family, namely my husband, LOVED the snowman hats SO much, he’s requested that I make an extra batch of just hats next time! lol………..I never even got to eat one, so I wouldn’t know how good they were, but let’s just say, oreos and marshmallows covered in chocolate……..I think I understand!
Do you dream about cupcakes?
Are you making any winter fun treats?
