Santa would definitely approve of these reindeer cupcakes. They are cute and delicious and will light up your holiday get-together as bright as Rudolph's nose. They're perfect for a school party, holidays at home, or even to leave for Santa on Christmas Eve.
Plus, kids will love to have a hand in creating these fun holiday treats!
Reindeer cupcakes
Ingredients:
- Chocolate cake mix or your favorite cake flavor + the ingredients called for on the back of the box
- Chocolate frosting or another "deer" color of your choice
- Black gel writing icing - find this in the baking aisle
- Pretzels for the antlers
- Vanilla wafers for the muzzle
- Candies for eyes and a nose - Jelly beans, M&Ms, gumdrops etc.
Directions:
- Bake the cupcakes according to the directions on the box.
- Let the cupcakes cool completely, then frost.
- Place a vanilla wafer on each cupcake. Then create a nose by using the writing gel as “glue” to stick a brown or red candy in place. You can create eight brown-nosed reindeer for Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner, and Blitzen and a red-nosed reindeer for the infamous Rudolph!
- Add two pretzels for antlers, and candies for eyes. Use the writing gel to dot the “eyes.”
Get creative! You don't have to use the suggested ingredients listed here to decorate your reindeer cupcakes. Try piped frosting for the nose and eyes, mini marshmallows, or different colors of frosting to create your own unique reindeer cupcakes.
