Cupcakes
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Gradually add 2 cans of co*ke to the bowl and mix.
Fill cupcake wrappers a little over half full and bake 10-17 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
Let cupcakes cool and pipe on a layer of white frosting.
Pipe red frosting high like Santa’s hat.
Top with a mini marshmallow.
Craft & Decorate
Print and trim the Santa Printable file.
Cut the black ribbon 5-6″ long. Make it long enough so it wraps around the can like a belt.

Hot glue Santa’s belt around the co*ke can.
Place the cupcake on top of the can and hot glue the Santa printable to side of the cupcake wrapper.
