Easy Melting Snowman Cupcakes
Before I started blogging I spent a lot of time as a teacher in a pre-k room at a day care center. I absolutely loved making crafts with the kids and fun food treats like these easy melting snowman cupcakes. We had a cute little kitchen that was set up perfectly for the kids to help. I use to make these with my daughters all the time.
They are so simple!
Our cute snowmen easily start with simply baking cupcakes. Then from there a little frosting, some marshmallows and a bit of food gel finishes them off. Let the kids decorate their own snowman faces, add sprinkles and position the pretzel arms any way they wish. You can even teach them how to pipe the frosting on with a bag.
After the cupcakes are cooled, frost the tops add a marshmallow head then a few finishing touches, that is it. You don't have to be a fancy bakery to put out such cute cupcakes.
