Simple – us your hands with food safe gloves and use oil to coat. Mold the Green Krispie Rice mixture around ice cream cone (died by adding food coloring to butter and marshmallows). When the mixture has dried use icing to make garland and M&M’s for ornaments. These can be added to a gingerbread house landscape or on top of cupcakes.

Marshmallow Snowmen Christmas Cupcakes
These are super easy to make and look and taste so good! Make chocolate cupcakes (or any flavor that is your favorite) and ice with frosting. The above shows two versions one is left alone at this point and the other is now topped with coconut. Shown is a snowman melting and a full snowman for ideas.
For melting snowman: Use a pretzel stick and insert into the bottom of a marshmallow and insert into cupcake. Add black icing for eyes, mouth and arms. Use green icing for buttons and orange for nose.
For full snowman: Use a pretzel to join two (one small and the other large) marshmallows together and insert another one in the bottom of the largest and insert into cupcake. Top with fondant icing hat (and make one with icing). Add pretzels for arms, red liquorice for scarf. Use black icing for eyes and mouth, Orange icing for nose and blue for buttons.
This is a lot of fun and the kids can help you make each one have its own individual personality.
Valentines Day / Halloween Devilish Cupcakes
Thanksgiving Turkey Cupcakes
These turkey cupcakes are so cool to make for Thanksgiving and even though they look like a whole lot of time went into them it was simpler then you think.
~Make you favorite cupcakes and cool.
~Melt candy melts or chocolate chips and dip top of cupcakes into it and allow to harden. (If you use chocolate chips are a small spoonful of corn syrup to make the chocolate easier to work with.)
~The head – the picture shows fondant being used but lets use half of a Nutter Butter cookie dipped into the melted chocolate and then leave to dry on the side.
~Start with yellow icing and make a rippled edging along one half of the cupcake. When done squeeze the icing back into a bowl and add more coloring to that icing to get layers of yellow, yellow-orange, orange, orange-red, red, and a maroon color (by adding a very small amount of black or purple food coloring to the red).
~Top with Nutter Butter cookie that has pipped eyes, nose and goblet.
Would be great for an extra special treat for your Thanksgiving dinner party – the kids will especially love them.
