Snowflake Cupcake Cake – Ingredients

• 25 cupcakes (baked and cooled, any flavor you love)
• Blue buttercream frosting (use your favorite homemade or store-bought*)
• White buttercream frosting (use your favorite homemade or store-bought*)
• Piping bags
• Wilton 1M piping tip (or any open star tip for rosettes)
• White sprinkles
• Small fondant snowflakes (we used this snowflake mold)
• Large cake board or platter

*store-bought frosting can be soft for piping. You can add 1/2-3/4 cup of sifted powdered sugar to one can of frosting to stiffen it up. Mix well with a blender until fluffy. Add a few pinches of salt to balance the sweetness.

Snowflake Cake Instructions:

Step 1: Bake and Cool Your Cupcakes

Bake 25 cupcakes using your favorite recipe or cake mix. Let them cool completely before decorating.

Step 2: Arrange the Cupcakes in a Snowflake Shape

On a large cake board, arrange the cupcakes in a snowflake pattern (see reference photo). It should resemble a six-pointed star with branching arms.

Step 3: Pipe Blue Buttercream Rosettes

Fill your piping bag fitted with a Wilton 1M (or similar) tip with blue buttercream. Pipe rosettes onto each cupcake by swirling from the center outward. Cover all cupcakes so they form one continuous blue snowflake base.

Step 4: Pipe a Large White Snowflake Design

Switch to white frosting and pipe a large, detailed snowflake design across the top of your rosette base. Don’t worry about perfection, the hand-piped look adds charm!

Step 5: Add Fondant Snowflakes & Sprinkles

Decorate with small fondant snowflakes for extra elegance, placing them on the edges or where the piping crosses. Finish with white sprinkles, shimmer sugar, or edible glitter for a sparkling, snow-kissed finish.
