    The Cutest Christmas and Winter Cupcake Tutorial by MyCakeSchool.com! Perfect for Winter and Christmas Parties!

     

    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. Adorable Christmas and Winter Cupcake Tutorial by My Cake School!

    Now, let's dress these Frosties up!....Adorable Christmas and Winter Cupcake Tutorial by My Cake School!

    And finally, one last cute snowman (because you can never have too many!) -- I added my sprinkles first, then added everything else....Adorable Christmas and Winter Cupcake Tutorial by My Cake School!

    **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)
