Prepare 500 grams of FunCakes Mix for Cupcakes as indicated on the package. Place the baking cups in the muffin pan and divide the batter into the baking cups to half fill the cups. Bake the cakes for 18-20 minutes until golden yellow and take them out of the muffin pan. Let them cool down completely on the kitchen counter.
Knead 300 grams of white fondant well and add a pinch of tylo powder. Roll 20 – 24 equal balls for the snowmen heads. Make eight hats with the red fondant. Make a ball and roll it in your hands into a in a cone shape and hollow it out with the bulbulous cone on the inside. Glue a small roll of red fondant against it and use a knife to give lines in the edge and on the hat. Glue a white mimosa on top. Roll out the green fondant thinly and cut out small holly leaves and glue them on the hats together with some red pearls. With the back of a brush you make 3 holes in the head and fill up two holes with black pearls. Use a little bit of glue if necessary. Make a carrot of a piece of orange fondant and glue it in the third hole. Dip the needle tool into the glue and make holes for the mouth and fill it up with black nonpareils. For the ear warmers, you use the largest size of the round plunger and glue it on the head against a thin roll of green fondant.
Prepare the FunCakes Mix for Enchanted Cream® as described on the package and place tip #2A in the decorating bag. Fill the bag with the cream.
Pipe royal rosettes on the cupcakes. Pour the white nonpareils into a bowl and dip the whole swirl into it so that it is completely covered with nonpareils. Use a toothpick to stick the heads on the cupcakes.
