Santa cupcakes

I found these in an old magazine. First, I have a confession to make: the cupcakes are made from a cake mix. I know, I know, the horror! But I wanted to make something fun for the kids so I focused on the decorating (and yes, frosting was from scratch.)

It was a team effort.

Some Santas were not as well-groomed as others.
