How to Decorate Snowman Cupcakes Reviewed

How to Decorate Snowman Cupcakes
I always enjoy making special treats during the holidays. These little Snowman cupcakes are perfect for Christmas, or really any winter celebration. 

The snowman cupcakes are pretty easy, and definitely a whole lot of fun, to decorate. You could even let the kids decorate them! 

Lots of family fun with these little guys!

I originally saw a picture of some snowman cupcakes in the Holiday Cupcakes book featured below. I thought they were adorable and when challenged, I couldn't resist making them. However, let me warn you now, I never do anything strictly by the instructions. I have made several changes to the original decorating directions in the book.

My family loves Coconut cake, but if you have a guest who can not eat coconut, I have included an alternative for them too.

How to Begin Your Snowman Cupcakes 

white cupcakes
Since this article is about decorating the cupcakes, we are going to start with the cupcakes already baked, cooled and ready for decorating.

One note about cooking your cupcakes, remember the miniature cupcakes for the face only require about 8 min. to bake. Use a toothpick to determine exact length of baking time. When a toothpick poked in the center of the cupcake comes out clean, the cupcake is ready. 

 

Tip for Baking White Cupcakes

When I am baking white cupcakes, I only use the egg whites and discard the yokes. This keeps the cupcake a purer white color. If your recipe calls for 3 whole eggs, use 4 egg whites instead. 

 

Ingredients Needed for Snowman Cupcakes

  • Large Cupcakes ~ White
  • White Miniature Cupcakes
  • White Frosting
  • Coconut ~ I used Angel Flake packaged Coconut
  • Coconut Milk from a Coconut (See Directions Below)
  • Candy for Decoration
  • *Chocolate Wafer Cookies for the Hat
  • *Melting Chocolate for Top Hat Assembly (I use Make 'n Mold Candy Wafers)
  • Ribbon for Scarf
  • Toothpicks
  • * See Candy and Cookie suggestions under Step by Step Decorating Photos

 

Draining the Coconut ~ Step 1 

tools needed to drain a coconut

Draining the milk from a coconut is easy with the right tools.

Simply use a sterilized Phillips-head screwdriver and a hammer or mallet. Place the screwdriver on the eye of the coconut and hammer through the shell and the fruit to the milk. You will feel the point where you have broken through to the milk. The screwdriver will move easily at that point. 

How to Drain the Milk from a Coconut

Usually, I sit flat on the concrete walk or floor with the coconut between my knees and hammer the holes. However, this morning my dad came over and preformed this task so I could take pictures for you.

You will need to puncture at least two of the three eyes of the coconut.

Turn the coconut upside down over a coffee cup and let it drain. There will be some coconut shell residue that settles in the bottom of the coffee cup. Simply spoon it or strain it out leaving the milk free of debris.

Step by Step Instructions ~ Preparing the Baked Cupcake for Decoration

Step 1: Drain milk from real coconut

Step 2: In a mixing bowl, pour coconut milk on Angel Flake coconut and stir together.* (I actually use my hands to mix together)

Step 3: Frost baked white cupcakes with white frosting.

Step 4: Cover each iced cupcake with prepared coconut and gently press the coconut into the frosting with the palm of your hand. You will want the coconut to be pressed firmly into place when you decorate.

Step 5: At this point, I like to refrigerate the cupcakes for at least 1 hr. before I decorate them. This is not necessary, but it gives me a needed break in the process and allows everything to set before I start playing with it.

*If you ask me why I add coconut milk to my Angel Flake coconut, my only answer would be because my mother and my grandmother before her, did it that way and their coconut cakes are exceptional!

Step by Step Instructions ~ Assembling and Decorating Snowman Cupcakes 

Decorate the Snowman's Face and Body While He is Laying on His Back

Step 1: Join 1 large cupcake to one small cupcake with a toothpick by gently inserting the toothpick into each cupcake.*

Step 2: Tie ribbon around the neck of the snowman

Step 3: Add Eyes, Nose and Mouth. You will need to press the candy pieces into the actual frosting. I cleared the area of coconut to be able to set the mouth in place.

Step 4: Add Buttons down the Body

Step 5: Make Hat, if desired. I made the top hat by adhering the bite size piece of licorice on the York mint with melting chocolate.

Step 6: Set Snowman up and set his hat on his head. You will need to use melting chocolate or half of a toothpick to attach the hat to his head.

*Toothpicks are not always easy to stick through the cupcake liners. I used an embroidery needle to stick through the paper and start the hole for the toothpick.

Displaying Snowman Cupcakes 

When you display Snowman Cupcakes, you will want to use extra coconut around their base, as pictured, to give them stability.

Foil Cupcake Baking Cups 

When I am decorating cupcakes, I prefer to use Foil Cupcake Baking Cups. They come with the white liner cup that you normally see sold separately. I bake the cupcakes in both cups. You do not want to separate the two cups until you have finished decorating the cupcake.

The foil cups gives me stability while I decorate. When I am ready to display or serve the cupcakes, I simply remove the outer foil cup.

From Boo Boo to Woo-hoo!

snowman cupcake
This was my first snowman cupcake of the day. I tried to decorate him while he was standing up. He fell over and the small cupcake broke in half.

I felt so sorry for this brave little snowman, that I scraped off his frosting, set the small cupcake on top of the large cupcake. I frosted him again and re-decorated him. I then placed him in the refrigerator.

When my son came home and saw him, he laughed and declared that he looked like a melting snowman. Then he said, "well, actually, he is my favorite!"

So, I share my "boo boo" turned "woo-hoo" with you.

So, what do you think.  Is the little repaired snowman, oh so cute or still a flop?

Delectable Blueberry Muffin Recipe

Blueberry Muffins Recipe
In my opinion, there is not anything better than a homemade blueberry muffin with a cup of fresh black coffee for breakfast in the morning. 

This blueberry muffin recipe is very easy, plus the ingredients are common staples in a kitchen, except the blueberries.  Anything homemade takes time, but these muffins can be made in less than an hour.

Whether you are entertaining guests, or simply your own family, these muffins are always a welcome treat.  

While they are fabulous right out of the oven (once cooled for a few minutes, of course), they can also be made ahead of time and stored in an airtight container for a few days.  If you plan to serve them within a day or so, they can be left out at room temperature.  However, beyond that, they should be refrigerated.  

We have never had to refrigerate our muffins.  They tend to "disappear" the first day.

 

  1. Preheat the oven to 375° 
  2. Grease non-stick muffin tins with Crisco shortening
  3. In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar together. 
  4. Beat in one egg at a time (adding a total of 2 eggs)
  5. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and salt
  6. Gradually mix flour mixture into butter mixture alternating with milk & beating well after each addition.  
  7. Fold in Blueberries with a spatula (do not use the mixer & beaters here)
  8. Spoon batter into greased muffin tins, approximately 2/3 full 
  9. Sprinkle tops with sugar
  10. Bake at 375° for 20-25 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean
  11. As soon as the muffins are out of the oven, use a small silicone pastry brush to brush muffins with melted butter, then put them back in the oven for 2 minutes 
  12. Let Cool for 5 minutes, remove from muffin tins & serve

Two-Bite Cupcakes - Book Review

 The cupcakes may be small, but in Two-Bite Cupcakes by Viola Goren, they pack a big punch of flavor and creativity. This cookbook is dedicated entirely to the art of making bite-sized cupcakes.

Two-Bite Cupcakes by Viola Goren

Every summer, our granddaughters spend a week at our house before school starts. We always enjoy planning fun activities during the week. This year, our youngest granddaughter, Guiliana, brought her Two-Bite Cupcakes book with her. The book is filled with over 50 recipes for delicious bite-sized cupcakes, ranging from classics to imaginative creations.

Guiliana found the recipe on page 24 that she wanted to bake, Strawberry Surprise Cupcakes. So, Fran and Guiliana got busy making these for all of us to enjoy.

Making the cupcakes

Now, for the strawberry surprise. Add half of the batter to the cupcake tin, and then add a teaspoon of strawberry jam. Finish adding the batter and bake. Now you have strawberry-filled cupcakes.
Cupcakes

Here are the finished cupcakes, ready to enjoy. I have to say they didn't last long, and were delicious.

The photos in the book are bright and inviting, and make you want to head straight to the kitchen. The directions are clear and suitable for beginners and more experienced bakers.

Two-Bite Cupcakes by Viola Goren is a delightful addition to any baker's kitchen. These treats are perfect for parties, entertaining, or simply enjoying a sweet treat.

Homemade German Chocolate Cake Recipe Reviewed

German chocolate cake recipe
German chocolate cake is a unique and delicious cake.  A German chocolate cake is often easily recognized by the way it is frosted.  Traditionally, the sides of a German chocolate cake are not frosted.  The coconut-pecan frosting is only on the top and between layers.   However, when I make this cake for our family, I elect to put the frosting between layers, on the top and sides.  We like the extra frosting.  If I made the cake for a party, I would opt for the more traditional, recognizable method and leave the frosting off the sides.  

Baking any cake from scratch does take more time to prepare than a boxed cake mix.  Plus, you need more ingredients on hand.  Those ingredients often have a short expiration date and are likely to spoil before you use the full bottle, bag or can.  This alone may be why so many people choose to make cakes with a cake mix instead of from scratch.

When you have the time and inclination, a homemade cake from scratch truly is a gift, as well as a special treat.  My homemade German chocolate cake is the most requested cake out of all of my homemade cakes.     


German Chocolate Cake Recipe
Sylvestermouse - ReviewThisReviews.com

Set out your butter to soften about an hour before you are ready to start mixing the cake together.  I would also recommend lining your cake pans with parchment paper or pre-cut cake pan liners to keep your cake from sticking to the pan. 

Because there are several parts of this recipe made in separate bowls and later combined into one large mixing bowl, I use mixing bowls with spouts for easy pouring.   

I do use my stand mixer for this cake in order to free up both hands to hold bowls and/or spatulas when adding ingredients to the batter. 
  

Ingredients

  • 1 pkg. (4 oz.) BAKER'S GERMAN'S Sweet Chocolate
  • ½ cup water
  • 4 eggs, separated
  • 2 cups & 4 Tablespoons cake flour or 2 cups of all purpose flour
  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  • ¼ tsp. salt
  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1 tsp. vanilla
  • 1 cup Prairie Farms Bulgarian style buttermilk or whole buttermilk
 

Directions    

Cover bottoms of 3 (9-inch) round pans with parchment or pre-cut dry wax cake liners for pans; Coat bottom & sides with Crisco shortening. 

Heat oven to 350°F   (325°F – Convection) 

  1.  Microwave chocolate and water in large microwaveable bowl on HIGH 1-1/2 to 2 min. or until chocolate is almost melted, stirring after 1 min. Stir until chocolate is completely melted. 
  2.  Separate Eggs (Egg whites in the medium glass mixing bowl)
  3.  Combine flour, baking soda and salt in a separate bowl 
  4.  Beat butter and sugar in large mixing bowl with mixer until light and fluffy    
  5.  Add egg yolks, 1 at a time, beating well after each.    
  6.  Blend in melted chocolate and vanilla with the low setting on the mixer    
  7.  Add flour mixture alternately with buttermilk, beating until well blended after each addition 
  8.  Beat egg whites in glass bowl with a hand mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form 
  9.  Add egg whites to batter by gently stirring them in with a spatula until well blended 
  10.  Pour batter into prepared cake pans     
  11.  Bake 25 min. or until toothpick inserted in centers comes out clean 
  12.  Immediately run small spatula around cakes in pans and cool cakes in pans 15 min. 
  13.  Remove from pans to wire racks; cool completely.
  14.  Be sure to remove the pan liner parchment paper from the bottom of the cake layers before frosting.   
Prepare Coconut-Pecan Filling and Frosting; spread between cake layers and onto top of cake.

Coconut-Pecan Frosting Recipe for German Chocolate Cake or Cupcakes

coconut pecan frosting recipe
I've been making homemade German chocolate cake for decades and it is the most requested cake for any occasion in our home, probably because they are not commonly available.  If you try to eat a store-bought German chocolate cake you would probably swear off of ever eating them again.  Store-bought does not compare to homemade!

I personally make both my cake and my frosting from scratch.  This is one cake and frosting that you are not likely to find in a box or can.  As a matter of fact, the one time I tasted coconut-pecan frosting in a can, I hated the heavy lard taste.  The word "gross" comes to mind.

Unfortunately, store bought cakes or pre-made frosting in a can will make you think you don't like German chocolate cake.  But, if you have never tried a homemade German chocolate cake, then you have never tried a real German chocolate cake.  

 

Coconut Pecan Frosting Recipe
Sylvestermouse - ReviewThisReviews.com

You actually make coconut pecan frosting by cooking it on the stove top, like candy.  The pan matters.  You need a heavy pan that will hold heat.  I still use my grandmother's 4 quart Wagner Ware Sydney-O Magnalite pan (4684-P).  Do not use a pan with non-stick coating

 

INGREDIENTS

  • 4 egg yolks
  • 1 can (12 oz.) evaporated milk (shake well before opening)
  • 1½ tsp. vanilla
  • 1½ cups sugar
  • 3/4 cup butter
  • 1 pkg. (7 oz.) Baker's Angel Flake Coconut (2-2/3 cups)
  • 1½ cups chopped pecans

 

DIRECTIONS 

1) Finely chop the pecans 

2) Beat egg yolks, milk and vanilla in heavy saucepan with whisk until blended 

3) Add sugar and butter; cook on medium heat 20 - 25 min. or until thickened and golden brown, stirring constantly 

Remove from heat 

4) Add coconut and pecans.  Mix well 

Cool to spreading consistency.

 ___________

One note, please don't give up if the frosting is not perfect the first time you make it.  Like so many things in cooking, sometimes you need to make it a few times to perfect it with your cookware and stove.  

 

The Brands I Use

I prefer to stick to specific brands, unless a company changes their recipe or goes out of business.  I still use the brands that my mother and grandmother used when baking.

 

 Pet Whole Evaporated Milk, 12 ounceCheck Price McCormick Vanilla ExtractCheck Price Baker's Angel Flake Coconut Sweetened 7 OunceCheck Price Fisher Chef's Naturals Unsalted Chopped Pecans - ResealableCheck Price Prepworks by Progressive (Red)Check Price


If you want a Magnalite saucepan like mine, you will need to purchase it in an antique store or secondary market like Ebay. Current day Magnalite is not the same vintage Wagner Ware brand made in Sydney, Ohio. The current pans are made in China of a lighterweight material and is not the Magnalite I recommend. Magnalite Saucepan - 4 quart - 4684-M or 4684-P (-P or -M doesn't matter. They represent the mold used when making)

Easy Chocolate Fondue Recipe

 Few Desserts bring people together like chocolate fondue. This is a family favorite of ours. We like getting together several times a year for some delicious chocolate fondue. Following is a review of our Valentine's Day chocolate fondue.

Chocolate fondue recipe

A Brief History of Chocolate Fondue:

Fondue, originally a Swiss dish featuring melted cheese, inspired the idea of dipping foods into a shared pot. The concept of chocolate fondue emerged in the 1960s, made popular by Swiss restaurateur Konrad Egli in New York.

Fondue is a perfect time to gather and enjoy some great conversation with the family while enjoying some delicious dessert or food.

Many times we use steak and chicken cut into small pieces. Our daughter Jamie coats the chicken with Shake N Bake. We dip into hot oil until the pieces are cooked and serve with various dipping sauces.

Ingredients for Chocolate Fondue:

1 bag of chocolate chips 11.5oz.

1 bag of dark chocolate chips 11.5 oz.

1 1/4 cup of heavy whipping cream

1 tablespoon butter

1 tablespoon vanilla extract

First, you need a fondue pot. Jamie has two Cuisinart Electric Fondue Pots. For the chocolate fondue, we only use one of them.

Melting the chocolate

Set the pot to medium heat and add the chocolate chips. Add the butter and keep stirring so the chocolate begins to melt.

Add heavy whipping cream

Add the vanilla, and the heavy whipping cream a little at a time, and keep stirring until all is combined. When it's ready, the chocolate will look like the intro photo.

Goodies for chocolate fondue

Here are our prepared goodies for dipping into the chocolate. We cut up strawberries, pineapple, bananas, marshmallows, and pound cake.

Dip and Enjoy: We used the skewers that came with the fondue pot to dip our favorite treat into the rich chocolate.

Lemon Mini Muffin Cakes Recipe Reviewed

lemon mini muffins
A few weeks ago, my mom came to our home with a special treat for my family.  Lemon flavored anything is always my favorite.  These little mini muffin lemon cakes were fabulous!  

They were so good, I seriously could not make myself stop eating them.  I finally stuck them in the microwave so they would be "out of sight, out of mind".  However, the little mouse in me kept sneaking back for crumbs and tiny bites.

I don't have pictures of the making process because I was not with my mother when she baked them, but she did agree to let me share and review her recipe. Based on what she told me, this recipe is so easy, more pictures are not really needed.

They would be perfect for a party snack, dessert, breakfast, or perhaps all three if they can last all day in your home. Here, they only survived for one day before they were all gone. We had to guess at how many mini muffins this recipe made and decided it was approximately 48 mini muffins (2 batches when using the featured mini muffin pan below). If you should make them, please count them BEFORE you start eating or sharing them and return here to tell us how many muffins this recipe makes.
