These simple snowflake cupcakes will be a big hit at your Winter/Christmas party! They are so elegant looking and the icing can be made in any color you want them to be. I think they would be so pretty in a Holly red! You can find this recipe in my Kids Treat Book but I also thought it would be fun to share it here with you all! I used my favorite chocolate cake/cupcake recipe as the base for my cupcakes and a classic buttercream frosting that I colored a mint green. To make the snowflakes you only need a few minutes and a few ingredients

Supplies:

White Chocolate Candy Melts, I like to use Bright White

Silpat or Parchment Paper covered baking pan

Cake Decorating Bag and a #1 tip

Snowflake template, I just googled “snowflake” template and found one that I liked, opened it in a Word document, sized it down to the size I want my snowflake to be, and printed it!

Directions:

Melt vanilla candy melts in a candy melting electric pot according to package instructions, or in the microwave at 30-second increments. Place melted chocolate in a cake-decorating bag with a #1 tip.

Slide your snowflake template underneath a piece of parchment paper and pipe a snowflake shape with your melted chocolate following the lines.

Place in a refrigerator for 3-5 minutes or until chocolate is completely hardened. Remove from silpat or parchment paper and carefully place on top of each cupcake.
