- Sanding Sugar White And Blue
- Candy Snow Sprinkles
Instructions
- Melt the chocolate in a bowl per package directions.
- Put the melted chocolate in a small plastic baggie, and cut a corner off.
- Pipe snowflakes onto a piece of wax paper.
- Make 6 of these. Let harden.
- Frost each cupcake using a piping bag and tip (drop flower or star tip would work) to look like snow.
- If you don’t want to pipe it on, you can spread on in a thick layer with a knife and pull up little peaks.
- Sprinkle each one with white sugar and a little sprinkle of glitter.
- Take a chocolate snowflake and place it upright on the backside of each cupcake.
- Press it down Carefully into the frosting so it stands up.
- Cut part of the stick off each sucker and stick each snowman into a cupcake in front of the snowflakes.
- Put a few little candy snow sprinkles on the frosting in front of each snowman.
Notes
Chill the Wax Paper Before Piping Snowflakes : Placing the wax paper in the fridge before piping the chocolate helps the designs set faster and hold their shape.
Double-Pipe the Snowflakes for Durability : Once the first layer is piped, go over it again to reinforce the lines and prevent breakage when handling.
Add Cornstarch to Prevent Sticky Piping Bags : If piping frosting with buttercream, dust your hands and piping bag with a little cornstarch to prevent it from becoming too sticky while decorating.
