Snowman Cupcakes

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 160C Fan. Line a muffin tin with muffin cases.
2. Measure all of the cake ingredients into a large bowl. Whisk using an electric hand whisk until light and fluffy.
3. Spoon into 12 cases. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes until well risen and lightly golden. Leave to cool.
4. Measure the butter and cream cheese into a bowl. Whisk until creamy. Add the sugar, vanilla and milk. Whisk until light and fluffy. Spread over the cupcakes, reserving a little for assembling the snowmen.
5. Stick the marshmallows together with a little icing and stick a cocktail stick through the middle to secure (but make sure that you remove before your child eats the cupcake). 
6. Make a hole in the middle of the marshmallow and insert an orange Tic Tac for the noses, using a small bit of icing to help make it stick. Draw on the eyes, mouth and buttons using black writing icing,
7. To make the hat, roll out the chocolate icing, cut out a small circle and place on top of the snowman’s head attaching with a little of the icing. Place a Rolo on top.
8. Make a hole horizontally through the body of the snowman and push through a Matchmakers stick to create the arms.
9. Insert the cocktail sticks with the marshmallow snowmen on top of the cupcakes.
