RUDOLPH THE RED NOSED CUPCAKE



RECIPE INGREDIENTS:
 A cooled cupcake (baked from your favorite recipe) Chocolate frosting 
 Round, red lollipops (we used a Blow Pop) 
 M&M's candies 
 Black decorators' gel frosting 
 Pretzels 
 Red shoestring licorice 
1. To make one, first frost a cooled cupcake (baked from your favorite recipe) with chocolate frosting.

2. Unwrap a round, red lollipop (we used a Blow Pop), trim the stem slightly, and stick it into the center of the cupcake for Rudolph's very shiny nose.

3. For eyes, set 2 M&M's candies in place, then dot them with black decorators' gel frosting. Carefully break large thin pretzels into antler shapes (this may take some practice!) and insert them into the top of the cupcake. Finally, add a short piece of red shoestring licorice for a mouth.
