Snowman Cupcakes

1. 1

   Trim the dry top off 12 of the cupcakes and crumble the soft cake interiors into a bowl. Add about 5 ounces of vanilla icing and mix well. Add more frosting if needed to bring the mixture together into a ball so that it can be easily shaped. Cover bowl and chill cake mixture in the fridge for 20 minutes.

2. 2

   Frost remaining 12 cupcakes with a thin layer of white vanilla frosting.

3. 3

   Remove cake mixture and roll with wet hands into 2 different sized balls for the snowmen's torsos and heads, 12 bigger balls and 12 smaller balls. Stick a small ball on top of a big ball to make the snowman, using some frosting if the balls are not very sticky. Place snowmen onto frosted cupcakes.

4. 4

   Cut black licorice laces into small squares for the eyes and mouth using scissors and attach them with the tip of a knife to the head.

5. 5

   Mix white fondant with orange food coloring to turn it orange and make little carrot noses out of the orange fondant. Press into the snowman faces.

6. 6

   Attach 2 dark colored candy-coated milk chocolate pieces into the torso and cupcake as buttons. Attach 2 candy-coated milk chocolate pieces on either side of the head and connect them with a piece of black licorice for the earmuffs.

7. 7

   Cut red licorice laces into 2 1/2-inch long pieces and wrap around the snowman's neck as a scarf.
