Le Snowman

Ingredients

Preparation

  1. This snowman wears a fine winter hat: a chocolate-covered mint beret. His plump figure is two marshmallows—cut a slice off the top one and squish to make it smaller. Dabs of buttercream hold the parts together. For the eyes, poke two holes in the marshmallow head with a wet toothpick; insert long chocolate sprinkles with kitchen tweezers. To make the nose, cut a small triangle from an orange gummy fish, and push it directly into the marshmallow. Using an offset spatula, spread a smooth layer of buttercream over cupcakes, then place a snowman on top of each.
