Bredenbeck’s Bakery Shares Tips For Making Sweet Winter Treats
 Winter slush got you down? Looking for an activity to do with the kids on a snowy day? Make your own snowmen—no snow boots or chilly noses involved!  Bredenbeck’s Bakery in Philadelphia, PA is sharing the instructions for creating its signature Snowman Cupcakes.  

You’ll need:
A dozen of your favorite cupcakes
16 oz. vanilla icing
22 oz. (two packages) white chocolate chips
Red shoestring licorice, black gel icing, candies for decorating
  • Start with your favorite cupcake recipe and bake according to instructions
  • Flip your cooled cupcakes upside down, and spoon a dollop of icing on top to add height
  • Place the iced cupcakes in the freezer until icing is firm
  • Melt white chocolate in a double boiler
  • Place frozen iced cupcakes on a wire rack
  • Spoon melted white chocolate over top of iced cupcakes, allowing excess to drizzle through wire rack
  • Wrap a few pieces of shoestring licorice around for a scarf, create a face, nose and buttons using the black gel icing and candies.

Show us your version of the Snowman Cupcake! Post photos on The Bredenbeck's Bakery Facebook Page.
