Snowman (monster) cupcakes

Caroline had told me that she wanted snowman cake to hand out to her friends at the kindergarten, so I thought 30 cupcake snowman would be just the thing.....

The base was chocolate Victoria sponge with vanilla syrup and the heads were so called Oatmeal balls (Danish "havregrynkugler", which is a traditional and very popular Christmas sweet in Denmark and then drizzled with desiccated coconut. The whole thing was covered in Italian meringue butter creme (which had become way too soft).

I had hoped for a less messy look, but the kids clearly recognized that the snowman look and none of the snowmen survived the day, but that's the fate of snowmen :-)
