10 Easy Snowmen Cupcake Recipes

1. Marshmallow Man Cupcakes

Because eating a regular cupcake isn’t difficult enough, this snowman cupcake stacks a marshmallow head on three layers of frosting to create the snowman look.

Colored frosting adds button eyes and a carrot nose to this delicious Frosty. Could you just…avert your eyes so we can take a bite?

 

2. Melted Marshmallow Cupcake

Some cupcakes are worth melting for. Whether you use white frosting or a melted marshmallow frosting, this sweet treat is one of the easier marshmallow snowman cupcakes to eat.

Simply place one puffy marshmallow on top of a frosted cupcake and decorate your snowman with eyes, smiles, buttons, and a mini carrot nose. He’s already melting, so eating him is basically a favor.

 

3. Triple Snowmen Cupcakes

What’s better than one cupcake? Three. Instead of trying to pack in the whole snowman onto one, go ahead and use three to make the head and body.

Decorate each as part of the snowman, with a face, buttons, and little chocolate stick arms. Plus, if all three parts equal just one snowman, it only counts as one cupcake. Dessert math.

 

4. Fondant Snowman Cupcake

Use fondant to create a minimalist, small snowman with a tiny hat. If he’s a little creepy, that’s okay too. It’s the thought that counts in baking, right?

Snow-white vanilla cream icing is topped with crystal sprinkles to give this fondant snowman cupcake a sparkling final touch.

 

5. No Frills Snowman Cupcake

Has your kid ever informed you the day before the school winter party that they volunteered you to make cupcakes? If so, here is the baked good for you.

All you have to do is whip up a batch of carrot cake cupcakes, place a round dab of white icing, and arrange raisins for faces. The kids won’t eat them, because raisins and carrots, but at least you can say you tried as you gobble down the leftovers.

Simple, but delicious.

 

6. Pretty in Pink Cupcake

There’s snowman cuter than these chocolate and vanilla cupcakes with coconut frosting. Topped with little pink icing caps, these jolly cupcakes are almost adorable enough to make us forget what a sensory nightmare it is to eat flaked coconut.

 

7. Mint Chocolate Cupcake

Coat chocolate cupcakes with a chocolate ganache for a slick surface for your snowman to sit upon. Then, add minty fresh layers of buttercream frosting to look like your favorite Frosty.

Although, as kids, we named our snowman Robitussin. Clearly we were going through it.

 

8. Snow Globe Cupcake

Did you know edible glass was a thing? These cupcakes are next level with this added isomalt sugar.

A miniature snowman and Christmas tree add a pop of color. And we’re not saying you have to put these adorable snowmen in snow globes, but we both know it would be cooler if you did.

 

9. Cookie Cupcake

If you don’t believe cookies belong on cupcakes, we’re going to have to kindly ask you to take yours off and hand it to us. That’s it. Slow and steady.

With a Frozen-themed color scheme for the icing, you will have to decide: do you eat the cookie first, and then the cupcake? Or do you use the cookie like an edible spoon to scoop chunks of cupcake into your mouth? There’s no right or wrong way, as long as your grandma isn’t watching.

 

10. Mrs. Frosty Cupcake

Looking for a simple, cute take on a snowman? This easy-to-decorate cupcake uses frosting to create a face with eyelashes that sleigh. We’re not sure if they slay, though. Any Gen Zs around here?

Use white frosting with white sprinkles to create a bit of snow-like texture for a quick cupcake that is sure to delight.
