How to make Buttercream Frosting
In an electric stand mixer, beat together butter, sugar, and milk on medium speed, gradually increasing it to high.
Once the ingredients are combined and form stiff peaks, your buttercream is ready.
How to make your buttercream Santa hat
Scoop out about ¼ cup of white buttercream and with an offset spatula, frost each cupcake.
Add cocoa to your remaining buttercream and mix on high. Add red gel food coloring and mix until completely tinted.
Using a piping bag, pipe out a tall, triangular shape onto each cupcake.
Cut each mini marshmallow in half and top the buttercream hats. Ho Ho Ho
