This year for Christmas, Jon got me a really awesome book on Cupcakes. There are a lot of tips, recipes and different ideas on how to animate your cupcakes instead of just plain old frost them. We decided that we would make some cupcakes from the book. They were awesome! They are snowmen cupcakes with trees. I won't go into much details about what we did- just know that it took a long time and that I waited too long to frost the trees (oops). This resulted in frosting that was TOO soft but I didn't want to wait to have it stiffen up in the fridge so we just did the trees anyways. You know you love them! Also, the faces on the snowmen were supposed to be mini chocolate chips... but I couldn't justify buying a whole bag just to use them on 3 faces- so we just iced them on- so they don't look very "clean".
Now the problem is that we took so long to make them that we don't want to eat them!
Anyone want a snowman?

Those are the only kind of snow men that you will be able to make in Houston next year.
That is sooo cool! I love decorating cakes and cupcakes and I've never seen those done. Very nicely done :)
Seriously, you cease to amaze me. Why didn't you pass on some of your skills to me while I was there? Hope your holidays were memorable. Next Christmas you'll be in Texas. Don't worry though, it has snowed here 3 times and is FREEZING! So...you won't be escaping the Provo weather unfortunately. Anyway, great cupcakes. Can't wait to see more!
Way cool! Too bad we aren't your neighbors anymore so you couldn't drop some of those c-o-o-l snowmen off at our place... ;) Darn!
Wowee! Way to go Crystal!
