Winter Wonderland: Sweet Skier & Snowman Cupcakes
Yesterday I shared the Winter Wonderland on Gum Drop Mountain, now it’s time to share with you how to create the Sweet Skier and Snowman Cupcakes.
The different characters and animals are easy to create, especially if you break it down step-by-step.

- Make the ski poles by pushing the toothpicks into a Jelly Bean and slipping the Twizzler on the bottom
- Add the Twizzlers for the arms and attach them to the body
- Add the mini chips for the eyes {make a hole with a tootpick and push the chip into the hole, pointed side in} Attach the round candy to the kiss for the hat using Royal icing or stiff Buttercream frosting
- Add the head to the body with a toothpick
- Cut a 6-8 inch piece of fruit-by-the-foot for the scarf and using a knife, cut slits for the end
- Wrap the scarf around the neck, and your Sweet Skier is done
