Happy St. Nick's Day!
Celebrate the festivities with these super cute Santa cupcakes from Taste of Home. Have the kids help you create this jolly look with red food coloring, marshmallows, chocolate chips, red-hots, and coconut. I swear people will think these were professionally decorated!
Santa Cupcakes from Taste of Home
1 package white cake mix
1 can (2 cups) white frosting, divided
Red gel or paste food coloring
Minature marshmallows
Chocolate chips
Red-hot candies
Flaked coconut
Bake cupcakes. Cool completely. Place 2/3 cup frosting in a small bowl; tint with red food coloring. Set aside 3 tablespoons white frosting for decorating. Cover two-thirds of the top of each cupcake with remaining white frosting. Frost the rest of cupcake top with red frosting for hat. Place reserved white frosting in a small heavy-duty re-sealable plastic bag; cut a 1/4-in. hole in one corner. On each cupcake, pipe a line of frosting to create fur band of hat. Press a marshmallow on one side of hat for pom-pom. Under hat, place two chocolate chips for eyes and one red-hot for nose. Gently press coconut onto face for beard.
