Snow Cone Cupcakes

by ‎07-03-2013 12:55 PM - edited ‎07-01-2015 10:56 AM

Hello, foodies...

 

Today we have Melissa Johnson from Best Friends for Frosting (BFFF), for the second time this week! Melissa's the Founder and Creative Director for BFFF. She’s a self-taught baker that has worked at three different bakeries; making her the “entertaining expert and dessert stylist” she is today! Today, she's going to tell us how to make some Snow Cone Cupcakes!

 

 

 

These festive Snow Cone Cupcakes are sure to steal the show at your 4th of July party. With their summertime appeal, these cupcakes may receive more compliments from your guests than the fireworks show!

 

Although these may look complicated, you will be surprised at how simple they are to make. All it takes is a baked cupcake placed in a snow cone cup, an ice cream scoop filled with icing, and a handful or two of sprinkles. Insert a straw, and these show-stopping treats are sure to shine.

 

These cupcakes look identical to snow cones, a classic summer treat. I used Cake Mate’s red icing and red sprinkles for these festive desserts, but the decorating possibilities are endless.

 

 

 

 

You will need:

 




    • 6 (4-oz) Styrofoam cups

 


    • ice cream scoop

 


    • 6 baked cupcakes

 


    • 5 cups of Red Cake Mate Icing

 


    • 2 containers of  Red Cake Mate Sugar Sprinkles

 


    • 6 straws



Instructions:

 

 

Remove the wrapper from your cupcake and place the cupcake inside a Styrofoam cup.

 

 

Place Cake Mate Icing in the freezer for approximately 15 minutes to stiffen.

 

 

After the icing becomes firm, place one scoop of icing on top of your cupcake.

 

 

 

 

Pour red sugar sprinkles into a small bowl. While holding the base of your cupcake over the bowl of sprinkles, gently roll the icing in the sprinkles until it is thoroughly coated. Be sure to pat the cupcake gently to make sure the sprinkles stick to the icing.

 

 

Make sure your cupcake has more than enough sprinkles on it.  If you notice any bare spots, add more sprinkles.

 

 

Insert your straw at a tilted angle and enjoy!
