🧂 Ingredients

12 chocolate cupcakes made with your favorite cake mix

this one is mine
1 stick butter

softened
2 cups confectioners sugar
3-4 tbsp milk
1 tbsp cocoa powder
1 tsp red gel food coloring
6 mini marshmallows
Piping bag
Wilton decorating tip 12

Instructions

1 Ensure your cupcakes are cool before decorating, you don’t want your frosting to
melt right off your cupcake, do you?
2 In a medium sized bowl using an electric mixer, beat together butter, sugar, and
milk on medium speed, gradually increasing it to high. Once the ingredients are
combined and form stiff peaks, your buttercream is ready.
3 Scoop out about ¼ cup of white buttercream and with an offset spatula and frost
each cupcake.
4 Add cocoa to your remaining buttercream and mix on high. Add red gel food
coloring and mix until completely tinted.
5 Using a piping bag, pipe out a tall, triangular shape onto each cupcake – like a
cone.
6 Cut each mini marshmallow in half and top the buttercream hats.
7 Enjoy and happy holidays!
