Snowmen Cupcakes (with photo)

[farfallina]

I had promised in my blog for some Christmas recipes. This is the first one. (I only have 2 anyway because of the works in the kitchen. I didn't have the chance to try all in my mind)

I made a research first by surfing on internet and reading the books I had. When I compiled all together I got these cute snowmen. I can say they got very high rating from the eaters:)

They are very easy to make. Decoration takes a bit. If you have children you know you can ask for their help. I believe they would enjoy making snowmen

If you'd like to try this cute recipe for this Christmas or winter here are the ingredients and the recipe:


Snowmen Cupcakes

CUPCAKES

310g flour
10g baking powder
1 tsp salt
300g sugar
110g butter (softened)

    * Place a bowl on Thermomix. Sift in and weigh flour. Add baking powder and salt. Mix and set aside
