Directions for making the Snowman:

Step 1: After kneading the fondant, break off a two small balls one larger than the other.

Step 2: Using the paint brush and a little water, adhere the two balls together one ball sitting atop the other. Use your fingers to work the fondant until the snowman can sit upright.

Step 3: Break off a small amount of fondant and color it orange and another small amount a color red. With the orange fondant, break off very small pieces and roll into a sausage. Cut the sausage into sections to form tiny cones. This will form the snowman’s nose. With the red fondant, roll out on a flat surface. Using the knife cut fondant into long strips. Cut fringes into each of the ends. This will form the snowman’s scarf.

Step 4: With the black round sprinkles, press into the snowman’s head for form eyes. Press other candies into his chest to form buttons. Using the paint brush and a little water, attach the nose.

Step 5: Again with the paint brush and a little water, paint around the “neck” of the snowman and wrap the scarf around the snowman’s neck.

Directions for Icing the Cupcake:

Step 1: Place 1M Star tip into an icing bag and fill with blue butter cream. In a swirl motion, ice the top of the cupcake.

Step 2: Place a snowman on top of each cupcake. Sprinkle on white candy sprinkles.
