We've already baked the cupcakes with the basic recipe.
We've made the icing too, we can start right away!
Poke a chopstick through the marshmallows.
The hole should be large enough for a Lu choco stick.
Push the Lu Mikado stick through two marshmallows.
Cut it of the end the right length to stick it into a cupcake.
Place the chocolate on a plate on a pan hot water and melt it.
Brush icing on the cupcakes with a spatula.
Insert the snowmen in the cupcakes.
Use a skewer to make a hole to later on stick the nose in.
Use the melted chocolate to make faces on the snowmen.
Sprinkle some decorative sugar on the icing to give it a frozen look.
Roll a piece of coloured fondant icing thinly.
Cut a long strip and a shorter strip off.
The small piece makes the knot, cut a fringe in the end.
Roll a carrot and stick it on using drops of water.
Now your snowmen are ready, they are too cute!
Outside in the snow the snowman looks really happy!
Happy Winter!
