Ingredients
Instructions
Start by making the snowflake decorations. Dust a mat or work surface with icing sugar and roll out the fondant
Using a cutter, cut out snowflake shapes and place them on baking or greaseproof paper to dry out and harden
Pre-heat your oven to 160C Fan/180C/350F/Gas Mark 4, and line a muffin tin with 12 light blue cupcake cases, or another colour if you can't find light blue. White would work well
Cream together the butter and caster sugar until smooth
Add the eggs, vanilla and coconut, mix them in
Add the flour and mix it in
Divide the mixture between the cupcake cases, then bake for 20 minutes or until they are golden brown. Let them cool completely on a cooling rack
Using a cupcake corer or a knife, make holes in the middle of each cake

Make sure all your ingredients (particularly the butter and eggs) are at room temperature before you start baking.
I used a baking spread for the cupcakes and unsalted butter for the buttercream.
Although I provide cup measurements, I highly recommend weighing your ingredients out using digital kitchen scales*. It is the most accurate way to measure ingredients and will ensure the best results. Digital scales are very low cost and can be purchased for around £12 ($16.50) .
For teaspoon (tsp) and tablespoon (tbsp) measurements, please use measuring spoons* and not the type of spoons you eat with. Again this will ensure accuracy and provide the best results.

So pretty! I love them...like Kirsty, I have a Frozen loving daughter, who would think these are wonderful! Thanks for linking them up to #CookBlogShare. Eb x
Oh these look so pretty and really tasty too! I didn't even realise till now that you could get a cupcake corer but I'm also now thinking how useful that would be. I might even get one for myself as a little stocking filler type Christmas present!
ooooh Kat your are a clever baker. Not only do these look fabulous and very festive, I love that you filled each cupcake with marshmallow! No wonder they were so yummy. These would also be great served at a Frozen themed party.
