SNOWMAN CUPCAKES

• • • • •

Here’s another cupcake that’s almost too cute to eat. Honestly, with this adorable
pudgy white marshmallow snowman perched atop a white cupcake, you might
be tempted just to stare at it. But do take a bite, because the cake is moist and the
vanilla comes through in the buttercream frosting. These cupcakes are a simple
indulgence on snowy days and festive winter occasions. It’s an idea I adapted
from a marshmallow snowman I saw on the Martha Stewart Web site. Any
orange candy that can be shaped will do for the nose, and if you can’t find rolled

fruit, use ribbon for a scarf.
