Description

Use store bought cupcakes or bake your own to make these cute Santa hat cupcakes. Serve at your holiday party or for a birthday party close to Christmas.

Ingredients

• white frosting in a can
• red gel of red paste food coloring
• cupcakes, of your choice
• mini marshmallows, if desired for the tops of the hats

Steps

1. Tint canned creamy white frosting with red paste or gel food coloring, leaving some white for the hat rims.
2. Place red-tinted frosting in a pastry bag fitted with a large round tip. (If frosting is too soft to hold its shape, chill for 30 minutes at a time until firm enough to work with.)
3. On the cupcake, pipe frosting in a spiral that gets smaller as it nears the top. Top the hat with a mini marshmallow.
