Ingredients

• White cake mix, divide in half and color red
• Small round cookie cutter – I used the inside of a doughnut cutter
• Decorator Icing or your favorite Buttercream
• Decorator bag fitted with a Giant Round Tip
• Candy canes or other peppermint candy crushed
• Candy canes or other peppermint candy for garnish
• Wilton Candy Cane sprinkles for garnish
• Small glasses – we found these shooters at Pier 1, they were around $1

Instructions

1. Bake and cool cupcakes – I baked mine without liners but either way is fine
2. Cut with small round cookie cutter
3. Fit decorator bag with a Giant Round Tip and fill with white icing
4. Crush Candy Canes
5. Then just layer to your hearts content

I think the ideas are endless for these fun little shooters. You could certainly change up the color of cupcake, the flavors and of course the decorations. They are perfect for a dinner party or even on a kid-friendly dessert buffet. You may want to serve them with a spoon though, depending on the size of your glass.

Have fun!
