These adorable melting snowman cupcakes are an easy holiday treat that the kids will have fun making.
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 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 melting snowmen 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.
