Reindeer Cupcakes! (Christmas Recipe)

December 15, 2014

I have another easy & quick treat for you today, this time it’s Rudolph & his friends! These are made using cupcakes that you bake, or you can buy them pre-made at the bakery. These are super cute and once again, the kids will love helping you.

WHAT YOU NEED:

Cupcakes with chocolate frosting (I purchased mine at the grocery store)

Mini vanilla wafers

M&Ms (red, brown & white)

Tube of black decorating gel

Pretzels (standard size, not mini’s)

Tootsie Roll Midgees

 

WHAT YOU DO:

1. Get a pretzel and carefully break it in half to form 2 antlers. (You might have to experiment with this, it took me a few times before I got it right!) Place the antlers on the cupcake, and push them down into the cupcake a little to stabilize them.

2. Use two white M&M’s for the eyes; place them on the cupcake. Use the black decorating gel to put a dot on each eye.

3. Add one vanilla wafer to the cupcake.

4. Attach a red M&M (for Rudolph’s nose) or a brown M&M to the vanilla wafer using a drop of the black decorating gel.

5. Slice two thin pieces of Tootsie Roll and use for the ears. And there you have your reindeer!a40d6ff767eaf4c00052139a67ffdcf9
