Ingredients

For the cupcakes-

 

Chocolate Cake box mix and the ingredients to make them into cupcakes

24 ice cream cones

eyes, red cinnamon candies (optional)

 

Icing-

2 sticks butter

4 cups confectioners’ sugar

1/2 tsp  vanilla extract

2-4 tbsp milk

 

and top each cupcake with a swirl.

 

Yields: About 24 cupcakes

 

Prepare your cupcakes according to the box’s directions.

Bake according to package directions.

Allow to cool completely before decorating. (Cake box mix usually yields 24 cupcakes)

 

and top each cupcake with a swirl.

For the icing, use an electric mixer to beat the butter, sugar, mint extract and milk on high. You’ll want your buttercream to form stiff peaks. Add confectioners’ sugar to stiffen it up or milk to loosen it.

and top each cupcake with a swirl.

Place your frosting in a piping bag.

Add a cone to each cupcake. Pipe the frosting so that it looks like a beard.

Add eyes and nose if desired.

and top each cupcake with a swirl.

Happy Baking!
