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……….
my attempt at Snowman cupcakes
How to make Snowman Cupcakes
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!
I'm linking up with these parties.......please visit them!

He’s just in 2 cupcake wrappers……….one he was baked in, the other I just set him in it for the picture
Thanks these were a lot of fun to make and eat!
Beautiful cupcakes!!! Amazing pictures… you are to dang talented!
These are darling!
I’ve been subscribed to your blog for some time now. I just wanted to say how much I love and enjoy reading your blog. I have a baking blog and I love some of the ideas you inspire in me. Have a Happy New Year. Jackie
Precious just precious!
Love these! Would have been perfect for our random snow storm we just had in Dallas:-)
We’ve actually been “snowed in” for the last two days here in Louisiana, so I made snowflake cut out cookies and decorated them with royal icing. Each cookie is different just like each snowflake is not the same. I was disappointed in how the color blue turned out ( I was hoping for more of a ‘snowy blue’, but I think I used to much paste) but other than that, I enjoyed my baking project! Stay warm!!
Your snowballs and your snowmen cupcakes are sweet. What is it about snowmen that make you want to just hug them…even if they are edible and we pop them in our mouths without a second thought? I suppose it’s better than the other option for some….melting!
You did a great job on both of these cupcakes Cheryl.
Aren’t these the sweetest! Love these, Cheryl!
The snowball cupcakes are my favorite:) Perfect!
Very cute and full of wintery fun:)
I have a question about linking to different web parties…
I see that you are linked up to some that haven’t yet occurred. Do you go to the site on the day of the link event and sign up then? Do you write yourself a little reminder? Thanks so much.
I link to the same parties most weeks so I just try to remember to link to them…..sometimes I do forget though
Thanks, just trying to sort it all out:)
I still have my winter wonderland cupcakes I have been dreaming about doing on my to do list. We are still getting plenty of snow so I suppose I still have time! :0) too cute!
Simply adorable cupcakes! You’re very talented.

Love these!!
And I agree….the hats were the best part!!
Oh my goodness, how cute are those!
waaaayyyyyy to cute Cheryl – and perfect since quite a few of us have/or are getting snow this week!
So pretty! I love those ruffled liners, in fact I have a stockpile of them in my possession!
Oh, I love them–and want to munch on one too! I love cupcake projects! By the way, you always take such lovely pictures of your product–one of many reasons to love your blog!
Cute, cute, cute!!!
true awesomeness!
I love these! The stark white with that beautiful blue is stunning. A perfect January cupcake!

You’re ridiculously cute and talented
love these! YUM
I’m starting to get a little sick of the snow (I’m ready for spring already!) but these look awesome! Love the wrapper, too.
These are the most adorable winter cupcakes! Knowing my kids they’d start throwing them at each other!
That is too funny about Mr. Tidy wanting more of the hats!!!
Cheryl…these are SO adorable! I’d like 6 of each, please! And some of those cute ruffle cups!
Oh, these are too perfect! Love ‘em love ‘em love ‘em. I posted a link on ediblecrafts.craftgossip.com.
These are so cute! I think I like the snowball one the best – plus I think I could actually do that!
Too cute! What a fun goodie to make on a snow day!
so pretty and bright, LOVE it!!!!
Oh Cheryl I love these! Just saw them in the Craft Gossip newsletter this morning! I LOVE winter blue anyway, and cupcakes?? Mama!
These are amazing! I love cupcakes, but I could never, ever get mine to be so pretty. I made sure to follow you on my blog so that my sister (my cupcake cohort) could see these and everything else too!
Thanks for the ideas!
So cute!! The snowball and snowmen cupcakes!!
Stopping over from Tatertots & Jello! As always, these are adorable and look delicious!
This is sooo cute! I’m sure my kids will get crazy over them when I make these!
I’m having the very first GIVEAWAY on my blog. Please stop by to submit an entry. Good luck.
I love these and I’m featuring on my cupcake blog tomorrow!
Hi!
My nephews birthday just passed and I made these cupcakes…and your homemade butter cream frosting, that was MUCH better than store bought. They were a big hit! Thanks!!!
I just made really cute snowman cookies while experimenting with royal icing. For my first time using the stuff, I think they turned out well. I also made a snowman cake earlier this year. Pictures are on my blog. I just discovered your site, and I’m excited to be reading more.
Yummers! These look delicious! Thanks for sharing the tip on how to make the icing look more snow white.
