Description

Delicious cupcakes that resemble festive snow globes, perfect for holiday celebrations.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup milk
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened (for frosting)
  • 4 cups powdered sugar (for frosting)
  • 23 tablespoons milk (for frosting)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for frosting)
  • Edible figurines or decorations (snowmen, trees, etc.)
  • Clear plastic globes or gelatin bubbles
  • Edible glitter or powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a cupcake pan with cupcake liners.

  2. Mix the Cupcake Batter: In a bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Mix in vanilla extract. Gradually add the flour mixture, alternating with milk, mixing until just combined.

  3. Bake the Cupcakes: Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cupcakes to cool completely on a wire rack.

  4. Prepare the Frosting: In a large bowl, beat the butter until creamy and smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar, mixing until smooth. Mix in vanilla extract. Add milk as needed to achieve a spreadable consistency.

  5. Decorate the Cupcakes: Once cupcakes are cool, pipe frosting onto each cupcake, creating a dome shape. Place edible figurines or decorations on top of the frosting. Carefully cover each cupcake with a clear plastic globe or gelatin bubble. Lightly dust with edible glitter or powdered sugar to mimic snow.

Notes

  • Make sure the cupcakes are completely cool before frosting to prevent the frosting from melting.
  • Customize the snow globe decorations to fit different themes or holidays.
  • If using gelatin bubbles, prepare them a day in advance for best results.
  • Store in a cool, dry place to maintain the structure of the snow globe.
