Tips to Make the Snowman Cupcakes
Ready to make these cute melting snowman cupcakes? Here are some more tips and tricks you might want to keep in mind.
- If you want to cut down the cooking time for this recipe, you can start off by simply using some cake mix instead of scratch making the cupcakes.
- I would recommend using white cake mix, but if you really love the chocolate flavor, you can also choose to use chocolate cake mix instead.
- You can also choose to use your classic vanilla frosting or vanilla buttercream frosting to frost the cupcakes instead of making it from scratch.
- To lend some extra flavor and richness to these vanilla cupcakes, you can add some unsalted butter into the cake batter as well.
- Remember to frost cupcakes after they have reached room temperature. Once you let the cupcakes cool completely, they’ll hold on to the frosting better.
- Don’t have the soda? You can use some baking powder instead to help the snowmen cupcakes rise and get fluffy.
How Else Can I Decorate the Snowman Cupcakes?
- If you don’t have the sweet straws the recipe calls for, you can also choose to use pretzel sticks instead.
- You can also add some cocoa powder and mini chocolate chips to the cupcake batter and top it with some black frosting or black icing to bring a bit of a variation to these melting snowman cupcakes.
- I’ve used food coloring to draw the eyes and nose for the snowmen, but you can also use a carrot nose and some edible eyes to make the snowman’s eyes.
- M&Ms can be great to use as the snowman’s buttons.
How Do I Serve the Christmas Cupcakes?
You actually don’t need any effort to serve these cutest snowman cupcakes- they can be enjoyed on their own.
If you have any leftovers, transfer them to an airtight container and refrigerate them for up to 3 days.
