Today I’m sharing a few favorite Christmas and winter-themed cupcake designs! I’ve made several design options but a platter of any one of these styles would be equally adorable for a winter or Christmas gathering!
I’ve highlighted a few favorites in the photos below, but have decided to add a complete video tutorial as well, which you can find below! Have fun experimenting with these kid-friendly buttercream (and candy coating) cupcake designs! They are sure to bring smiles!
Nothing says winter like a pair of cute mittens!
Naked snowmen alert! It just takes a swirl of buttercream….with a nice round tip. 
Now, let’s dress these Frosties up!….
And finally, one last cute snowman (because you can never have too many!) — I added my sprinkles first, then added everything else….
**11/2016 update: You’ll notice that in parts of this video I’m using a foam paint roller, which was a very popular method at the time. These days, my smoothing tool of choice to use with crusting buttercream is a Viva brand (no impressions) paper towel. Feel free to use your method of choice! ;0)
