Here is another fun Christmas Cupcake decorating idea! These Santa Hat Cupcakes really easy to pull off, even with minimal piping skills making them a great option for just about anyone! These Santa Hat Cupcakes are perfect for a Christmas party desserts table. Your family will love this idea!
Santa Hat Cupcakes
Ingredients:
12 cupcakes, any flavour
red frosting
mini marshmallows, cut in half
Wilton decorating tip #32 (optional but that is what I used) – you really only need a regular tip as you’re just ‘piling’ the frosting to make a hat.
disposable frosting bag
Directions:
So easy and so cute, these cupcakes only take a few minutes too. Pre-cut your mini marshmallows in half so you don’t have to keep going back and cutting more. I didn’t count them but you’ll need a lot. 😉
attach your tip and fill your decorating bag with red frosting.
Make a circle base of frosting on your cupcake (see photo).
Next, add the mini halved marshmallows around the ring (see photo).
Then fill in the circle with frosting and go a round and a round making the Santa hat. Top with a mini halved marshmallow as the ball on top of the hat (see finished photos).
Set the cupcakes in the fridge to set up a few minutes before serving.
