Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 6-cup cupcake pan with festive liners.
  2. Prepare your cupcake batter according to package instructions. Fill the lined cupcake cups about two-thirds full and bake for approximately 15 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  3. Let the cupcakes cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  4. Generously pipe white frosting on each cupcake to resemble snow.
  5. Place one large marshmallow on top of the frosted cupcake for the snowman head. Insert pretzel sticks into the sides for arms.
  6. Pipe the orange frosting for the snowman's nose and use the black frosting for eyes and buttons.
  7. Serve immediately or refrigerate briefly to firm up the frosting before serving.
