Want to serve up some classic, jolly old Saint Nicholas cupcakes this Christmas season? With only a handful of ingredients and easy-to-follow instructions, these Santa Cupcakes from FamilyFun are perfect! You can tailor this recipe to your needs {make 4 or 40!}, so the amounts of ingredients will vary.
Hint #1 ~ coconut allergies in the house or office? Use a decorator's tip {I would use a small star tip} to create Santa's textured hair and beard out of frosting instead.
Hint #2 ~ red icing is very hard to perfect. Save yourself a lot of time and frustration {and food coloring} by purchasing frosting that is already tinted red at the grocery store.
Santa Claus Cupcakes
Ingredients
Cupcakes {flavor of your choice}
Icing {white and red}
Mini marshmallows
Shredded coconut
Blue and pink gel icing
Red candy {small and round, like an M&M}
Frost the cupcakes with a layer of white icing. Add the red frosting hat, curving it around the side of Santa's face, and a marshmallow "pompom".
Sprinkle on a ring of coconut to make Santa's beard and hair {or use a decorator tip to pipe on a frosting beard/hair}. Draw on his eyes and cheeks with gel icing; top it all off with a red candy nose.
How easy {and festive} is that?
