During the month leading up to Christmas, there are so many get togethers and parties that it can be hard to think of what goodie you are going to bring to the next one. If you are wondering what Christmas treat to take, I have one that is so cute and everyone will be talking about. Make these simple Santa Belt Cupcakes.
These cupcakes are simple to decorate and need nothing more than a pipping bag and small piping tip to make.
If you are new to using a piping bag and tip, this is a great recipe to start with because it is just simply squeezing the bag to force the icing out. I love this piping bag and tip set because it has everything you need for this cupcake and just about any other you will find online. If you don’t want to use a reusable bag with tips, you can also fold parchment paper into a bag or use a baggie with the tip cut. These are both harder methods and people tend to get frustrated the first few times they do them.
Ingredients:
- package cake mix for 12 cupcakes

Step 7: Pipe the white frosting onto the cupcakes.
Step 8: Fill a small bowl with red sugar sprinkles. Dip the top of the cupcake in the sprinkles making sure it’s completely covered.
Step 9: Use the white frosting to make a circle on the cupcake.
Step 10: Pipe the black icing in a horizontal line in the center of the cupcake for a belt.
Step 11: Pipe 2 buttons above the belt and 2 below.
