Melting Snowman Christmas Cupcakes

Why not give every snowman a different personality? You could have happy snowmen, shocked snowmen or worried snowmen. Is it too far to give them all names?, we think not!

These fun and tasty Christmas Tree Cupcake toppers will help you turn any cupcake in to a Festive work of art! Simply follow the instructions below for the transformation!

  • Purchase candy melts and melt according to package directions
