Preparation:

Step 1
• Place 14 cupcakes tightly on a platter or board, forming a circle for the body, and 7 cupcakes forming a circle for the head. Add 2 cupcakes for the scarf.
Step 2
• Using a small serrated knife, cut 7 chocolate wafer cookies in half; spread frosting on the back and arrange around the edge of the cupcake circles as shown to create a rounded shape.
Step 3
• Cut 6 more cookies into 4 pieces. Spread frosting on the back and fill the spaces between the cupcakes.
Step 4
• Transfer the remaining frosting to a piping bag fitted with a 1 cm round tip. Pipe dots of varying sizes onto each cupcake to completely cover them. Use black candies for eyes and buttons, and marshmallows for a nose. Roll out the fondant to a thickness of 0.5 cm; cut into 2 strips for the scarf and fringe the ends. Attach to the snowman.
