The winter season is here for us in New Jersey and with that means there is not much to do with the kids. It is too cold for playing long outside and being stuck in the house kind of makes us all a bit stir crazy. My oldest son had a class party before the Holiday season break from school, and I figured these were so cute and the kids would love them! My oldest son even liked to help a bit with making these for his classmates. They are really easy to make and everyone will love them!
Ingredients
- 1 box of cake mix ( any flavor you like, and if you need more then 24 well you know to buy two boxes then! )
- 1 tub of Vanilla or white frosting ( if making more then one box of cupcakes, buy a tub of frosting to go with each box of cupcake mix you make! )
- 1 tube of Orange decorating gel
- 1 bag of mini chocolate chips
- 1 bag of mini marshmallows
- 1 can of red decorating icing
- 1 package of cupcake liners ( more if your making double )
- 1 tube of black decorating gel
Instructions
* Bake cupcakes as directed on box.
* After all the cupcakes have cooled completely, ice them with Vanilla frosting.
* Place mouth on bottom of cupcake using 5 or six mini chips inserted pointy end in cupcake.
* Take orange decorating gel and use it to make a carrot for his nose.
* For the eyes you can either use more mini chips or use black decorating gel ( I used the black gel )
* Place six mini marshmallows in a curve just above the eyes for his hat. ( Leave space above marshmallows to fill in with red icing for his hat!)
* Use red decorating icing in the can and fill in above the marshmallows for the hat.
* Place one more mini marshmallow on the red icing for the top of his hat!
* Serve and watch the kids make a mess out of it! :)
