    How to Make Christmas Cupcakes

    I've highlighted a few favorites in the photos below, but have decided to add a complete video tutorial on these Christmas Cupcakes 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!

    Mitten Cupcaes

    Nothing says winter like a pair of cute mittens!

    Sweet Snowman Cupcakes

    Naked snowmen alert!  It just takes a swirl of buttercream....with a nice round piping tip.

    Christmas Cupcakes- Video Tutorial!

    Now for video!  

    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)

     Have fun with these Christmas and winter cupcake designs. If you give any of them a try, we would love for you leave a comment and photo below!
