Equipment

  • plastic snow globe container I purchased mine at Dollar Tree

Ingredients
  

  • 1 store-bought cupcake
  • sprinkles winter themed

Instructions
 

Wash and Dry the Snow Globes

  • Remove the plastic snow globes from their packaging and wash each piece in warm, soapy water. Rinse well and let them air dry completely.

Prepare the Cupcakes

  • Use store-bought cupcakes (I used snowman-themed ones from Walmart). Leave them in their wrappers for easier handling.

Add a Sprinkle of Snow

  • If desired, add a few winter-themed sprinkles or edible glitter on top of each cupcake for extra sparkle.

Assemble the Snow Globes

  • Place one cupcake directly inside the white screw-on base of the Dollar Tree snow globe, frosting side up.

Secure the Dome

  • Carefully place the clear bubble over the cupcake and gently twist it onto the base until snug.
