Jolly Santa Claus Cupcake

Cupcake

White and red icing

Mini marshmallow

Shredded coconut

Blue and pink gel icing

Red candy

1.        Frost the cupcake with a layer of white icing. Add the red frosting hat, curving it around the side of Santa's face, and a marshmallow pom-pom.

2.        Sprinkle on a ring of coconut to make Santa's beard and hair. Draw on his eyes and cheeks with gel icing, then top it all off with a red candy nose

Edible Ornaments Cupcake

Cupcakes

Colorful frosting

Red and green candy such as M&Ms

 Mini Reeses Peanut Butter Cups

 Pretzels

1.        To make them, frost a batch of cooled cupcakes (baked from your favorite recipe) with colorful frosting.

2.        Decorate with festive icing and candies (we used red and green M&Ms Minis), then top each one with a miniature Reeses Peanut Butter Cup and a pretzel piece for an ornament hanger. Don't forget to save one for Santa.

Mistletoe Cupcakes

Cooled cupcakes (baked from your favorite recipe)

White icing

Grated coconut

Green gumdrops

Sugar, for sprinkling gumdrop leaves

Red candy for holly berries (M&Ms work well)

1.        Frost the cupcakes with snowy white icing and top with grated coconut.

2.        Then use a rolling pin to flatten green gumdrops on a piece of waxed paper sprinkled with sugar. Use an aspic cutter or butter knife to cut out holly leaf shapes.

3.        Arrange two or three leaves and a few red candy "berries" on top of each cupcake, pressing them into the frosting just enough to hold them in place.

That's all for now folks! I am off to make my own Christmas cupcakes! Enjoy! Part 2 of Christmas Holiday Cupcake frenzy will be up very soon!
