Print Making the cutest Christmas cupcakes ever:reindeer cupcakes Preparation 35 min Dish:Dessert Servings:20 Author:anja Ingredients For the buttercream
  • 125 grams Butter (without salt)
  • 225 grams Powdered sugar
  • Cocoa powder (to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon Milk
  • 20 pieces Winegums (round, red)
  • 40 pieces Bretzel (other form of salty sticks)
Preparation
  1. Make the cupcakes according to the recipe or directions on the package. You can determine the taste yourself, but keep in mind that the buttercream has a chocolate taste

You make the buttercream as follows
  1. Let the butter come to room temperature and put it in a large and high bowl

  2. Start mixing the butter on high.

  3. Add about 1 tablespoon of milk to this and keep mixing

  4. Now the powdered sugar can be added. Don't do this all at once, but little by little while you keep mixing.

  5. Once all the icing sugar has been mixed, set about 1 tablespoon aside (this is necessary for the eyes)

  6. Then gradually add half of the cocoa to the rest

  7. Keep stirring until it is a smooth and creamy mass. If it becomes too hard, add a little more milk, if the cream is too runny, add some powdered sugar

This is how you decorate the cupcakes
  1. Spread this buttercream on all the cupcakes with the knife (smooth and spread over the entire top). Make sure there is still 1/3 left

  2. Mix the remaining buttercream with the rest of the cocoa powder (the color should darken, because this will be the snout)

  3. Add a little milk if necessary

  4. Transfer to a syringe and pipe a circle on the front of each cupcake and spread with a knife to form a nice circle. Keep about a teaspoon of the buttercream

  5. Put a red round wine gum on this as the nose

  6. Make eyes with the white buttercream and make pupils with the remaining brown chocolate cream

  7. Set the bretzel on top like antlers. Whole bretzels have been used in the photo, but these can also be halved and put upright

  8. The cupcakes can be put in the fridge to stiffen.
