Ingredients

• ✓ red licorice
• vanilla cupcake
• vanilla frosting
• black licorice
• white fondant
• orange food coloring
• milk chocolate candy

Instructions

1. 1 Trim the dry top off 12 of the cupcakes and crumble the soft cake interiors into a bowl. Add about 5 ounces of vanilla icing and mix well. Add more frosting if needed to bring the mixture together into a ball so that it can be easily shaped. Cover bowl and chill cake mixture in the fridge for 20 minutes.
2. 2 Frost remaining 12 cupcakes with a thin layer of white vanilla frosting.
3. 3 Remove cake mixture and roll with wet hands into 2 different sized balls for the snowmen's torsos and heads, 12 bigger balls and 12 smaller balls. Stick a small ball on top of a big ball to make the snowman, using some frosting if the balls are not very sticky. Place snowmen onto frosted cupcakes.
4. 4 Cut black licorice laces into small squares for the eyes and mouth using scissors and attach them with the tip of a knife to the head.
5. 5 Mix white fondant with orange food coloring to turn it orange and make little carrot noses out of the orange fondant. Press into the snowman faces.
6. 6 Attach 2 dark colored candy-coated milk chocolate pieces into the torso and cupcake as buttons. Attach 2 candy-coated milk chocolate pieces on either side of the head and connect them with a piece of black licorice for the earmuffs.
7. 7 Cut red licorice laces into 2 1/2-inch long pieces and wrap around the snowman's neck as a scarf.

Ingredients

• ✓ red licorice
• white frosting
• churro
• toothpick
• graham cracker
• gumdrop
• peppermint candy cane
• holiday sprinkles
• peppermint candy
• coconut
• confectioners sugar

Instructions

1. 1 Cabin Base: Fill a piping bag with frosting. Pipe a line of frosting along one side of a churro; lay frosting-side down on a serving platter. Repeat with 3 additional churros to form a square. Repeat with a second layer of churros, stacking them frosting side down on top of base layer. Repeat until walls are 4 churros high. Stick toothpicks vertically through churros at each corner for structural stability.
2. 2 Roof: Center a graham cracker across the top of the cabin, using frosting to adhere it to the tops of the cabin walls. Lay a second graham cracker next to it; it will overhang the side of the cabin a bit. Adhere it with frosting. Repeat with a third graham cracker on the other side. Measure and cut 2 pieces of red licorice to the same length as the graham crackers, about 4x 3/4 inches; glue with frosting down the center of the middle graham cracker about 3 inches apart. These will hold up the A-frame roof. To form the A-frame, frost the long sides of 2 graham crackers and lean them together so top long sides meet and bottom long sides are set just inside the licorice lines. Decorate roof with licorice and gumdrops as desired.
3. 3 Cabin Door: Break a graham cracker in half widthwise, spread a thin layer of frosting on one side, then decorate with candy canes and holiday sprinkles. Frost backside of door and stick it to the front of the log cabin.
4. 4 Windows: Break a graham cracker into quarters. Spread 3 quarters with a thin layer of frosting and decorate as desired. Frost backside of windows and stick them to sides and back of cabin.
5. 5 Icicles and Snow: Pipe frosting icicles along roofline, sprinkle coconut around cabin, and sift confectioners' sugar over the top.

• ✓ red licorice
• yellow cake mix
• water
• vegetable oil
• egg
• vanilla frosting
• coconut
• jellybean

Instructions

1. 1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease the sides and bottoms of two 9-inch metal springform pans.
2. 2 Beat cake mix, water, vegetable oil, and eggs in a large bowl with an electric mixer on low speed until moistened, about 30 seconds. Increase to medium speed and beat for 2 minutes. Pour into the prepared pans.
3. 3 Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the centers comes out clean, 23 to 28 minutes.
4. 4 Cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then remove cakes from the springform pans and cool completely, about 20 more minutes.
5. 5 Place one cake on a serving tray, forming the bunny's head.
6. 6 Cut 2 convex-shaped ears from each side of the second cake, and place them on each side of the head to form ears. Place the remaining concave-shaped piece about 1/2 inch below the head for the bowtie.
7. 7 Frost the entire bunny cake with vanilla frosting; pat the cup coconut evenly over top and sides. Decorate the bunny face and bowtie with jellybeans and use licorice to make whiskers.
