9. For the scarf, cut 48 pieces of rolled fruit about 2 inches long and ½ inch

wide. Cut a notch out of one end of each strip about ½ inch deep.

10. To assemble a snowman, place a marshmallow body in the center of each
cupcake, pressing it slightly into the frosting to adhere. Place 2 scarf strips on
top of the marshmallow, notched ends out, and place a marshmallow head on top
of the scarf, pressing down to secure all in place. If the snowman feels wobbly,
dampen the scarf ends or dab a bit of frosting on them to help secure all in place.

Add another dab of frosting on the top of the snowman’s head and place his
gumdrop hat. Continue assembling the snowmen until all the cupcakes are used
up. The snowmen are ready to be served.

Store these cupcakes, in a cake saver or under a glass dome, at room
temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
