Yesterday we were baking some cupcakes to pass the time, and to give the kiddos something to do, and I heard my phone go ” ding ding”. That means I’ve got a text, and this one announced another snow day!
These cupcakes are prefect for the snowy weather, and another day indoors.

I baked off a batch of French Vanilla cupcakes, cause that was what I had on hand. I checked the pantry for some decorating supplies, and grabbed the decorating sugar and the vanilla snowman marshmallows too.

I didn’t have frosting on hand, so I whipped up a batch. I can’t tell you the exact recipe, because this is one frosting that I made up as I went along. It does include: Vegetable Shortening, Margarine, Powdered Sugar, Granulated Sugar, Goodman’s Vanilla, Flour, and Lactose-free Milk, and it is delicious, but really unhealthy.

Once the cupcakes had cooled, I iced them with the makeshift icing, and topped them off with the decorative sugar and the snowmen too.

They look like a “Winter Wonderland” to me.

Thade gave them a double thumbs-up!

Dylan thought they were pretty tasty too. He might have liked his Christmas ring-pop a little more, that is why his lips are all red.
I think the cupcakes would be super tasty with a big cup of Hot Cocoa, or an ice cold glass of milk.
Wish I was there for a cupcake and some coffee! Yum O!
Yum! I have one with a hot cup of java! 😉 I am all ablout my coffee these days. Blessings!!!
They look perfect for a snow day! I love how you used things you had in the pantry!
Thanks Mimi! That sounds like a great plan to me 🙂
Thanks Marva! I love my coffee too 🙂 I’ll save you a cupcake.
Thanks Heather! The icing was a bit different, but worked in a pinch. We have had really cold weather, so I had to improvise. I love those snowmen marshmallows though, they are pretty tasty 🙂
We made a gingerbread house with kiddos today! The youngest kept eating all the icing!
