DIRECTIONS FOR CAMPFIRE CUPCAKES:

First spread the chocolate frosting on top of the cupcake.  

Then place the cupcake frosting side down into a bowl filled with the chocolate jimmies sprinkles. 

Now roll the top of the cupcake around in the bowl until entire top of the cupcake is covered in the sprinkles.

Next snap the pretzel sticks in half and place 6 of the sticks on top of the cupcake so it looks like campfire logs.

Now mix food coloring into white frosting to make a batch of red and orange frosting (you can buy white frosting or make my best buttercream recipe here).

Then fill one disposable piping bag with orange frosting and one with red frosting. 

Next, cut the tips of the piping bags and place them both in another piping bag fitted with a 2D large drop flower piping tip.

Now pipe the frosting on top of the pretzel sticks to resemble a campfire.

Then place a miniature marshmallow on the end of a toothpick.

Finally, place the toothpick with the marshmallow on top of the campfire.

Now you have the cutest campfire cupcakes! Everyone will love decorating these and they are so fun to make! Perfect camping activity too!
