Steps:
- Make the edible snow globes: In a small bowl, whisk together the cold water and gelatin. Let the gelatin bloom for 5 minutes, until the water is mostly absorbed. Microwave for 20-30 seconds, or until the gelatin is melted.
- Add the sugar and peppermint extract and stir until dissolved. Let cool for 10 minutes. If any foam rises to the top, skim off and discard.
- Spray the balloons with nonstick spray. Wipe gently with a paper towel to distribute.
- Dip each balloon in the gelatin until ¾ of the way submerged. Use tape or poke a small hole above the knot to attach the balloon to a skewer and stand it upright in a tall glass for 1-2 minutes. Dip in gelatin again, then stand it upright in a tall glass again. If the gelatin begins to set, microwave in 10-second intervals and continue until all of the balloons are coated. Let the balloons for at least 12 hours, until no longer tacky to the touch.
- Make the cupcakes: Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a 12-cup cupcake tin with cupcake liners.
- In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Add the brown sugar and whisk to combine.
- Add the hot water, canola oil, apple cider vinegar, and vanilla and mix until combined.
- Divide the batter evenly between the cupcake liners.
- Bake the cupcakes for 14-16 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a cupcake comes out clean.
- Let the cupcakes cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely.
- Finish the edible snow globes: Carefully remove one of the balloons from the skewer. Pinch a bit of the balloon near the knot, and carefully snip a small hole. Let the air slowly release from the balloon, then pull out of the gelatin snow globe and discard the balloon. Trim the edges of the snow globe if uneven. Repeat with remaining coated balloons. Set the snow globes upright on a baking sheet until ready to top the cupcakes.
- Assemble the cupcakes: Frost the cupcakes with a dollop of vanilla frosting onto each cupcake, spreading evenly over the top.
- Sprinkle the shredded coconut on top of the frosting, dividing evenly between the cupcakes.
- Top each cupcake with a holiday lollipop, inserting the stick into the cupcake. Place the snow globes on top, and dust with powdered sugar.
- Enjoy!

Steps:
- 1. Prepare cupcakes per instructions on cake mix box. when cooled, cut off small portion of bottom of cupcake.(this will be frosted to use for the top of the snow globe). you might have to cut off a little off the top to level it to stand up even and flat. you will need to take off labels of round coke bottles, then cut off a portion of the top so it will fit over the top portion of the cupcake.You may need to practice on one first to make sure the opening isn't cut too big and fits just enough over the top portion of the cupcake. I used a box cutter. make a solution of sugar water to hold the sugar crystals inside the globe. sugar water is 1/2 water and 1/2 sugar. you will want to spray inside of bottle lightly with sugar water, be careful and don't spray front of bottle to be able to see decorations. Sprinkle white sanding sugar or sugar crystals around inside bottle and place on top of your decorated cupcake. and there is your snow globe cupcake.
- 2. I also sprinkled some sugar crystals on top of frosting to look like sparkling snow.
Tips:
- Use a clear glass so you can see the snow globe effect. - Chill the cupcakes before assembling the snow globes to help the frosting harden and hold the shape of the globe. - Be careful when pouring the water into the snow globes. If you pour too much, the water will overflow and make a mess. - Use a variety of decorations to create different snow globe scenes. You can use anything from mini trees and snowmen to Santa Claus and reindeer. - Get creative with your snow globe cupcakes! You can make them for any occasion, such as Christmas, winter birthdays, or even just for fun.Conclusion:
Snow globe cupcakes are a fun and festive treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a little creativity, you can create snow globe cupcakes that are sure to impress your friends and family.
