I did a Santa CCC today and was asked for instructions. I want to give credit to the Cakerator because the design is hers and she graciously gave me permission to copy it. Here is a pic of my finished cake and a diagram of how I arranged my 24 cupcakes. I frosted the face cupcakes smooth and then used a 1M tip for the beard and hat and pom-pom on the hat. I used the 1M tip also for the white trim on the hat and the mustache. I piped the eyes and nose using a round tip (#12).

that is so cute!! I love it!!

Love it!!!!!!

ohhh that's too cute! I'm making a ccc tomorrow, and still up in the air to which I watn to do. It's either gonna be a Santa, tree, or wreath, but I'm leaning more towards ol' St. Nick or the tree. It's for a bowling league. Great job on Santa..now maybe he'll bring ya somehting GREAT!!

That's awesome! I am making a CCC for my DH's kindergarten party next week! I was going to do a snowman, but now, maybe a Santa!

I was asked to do a cake for the children't ministry at church next week, but couldn't decide what to do. Had thought of a CCC, but hadn't come up with a design. Have now!

Thanks!!

Thanks for the template. I am making one for my niece's Christmas party and I couldn't figure out how to place them.

Can you tell me what program you used to create your template? I think it would help with all the other cupcake cakes that I need to do this holiday season.

Thanks,
Cecilia

I love it.....!

OH... that is sooo cute! Your piping looks perfect

Santa looks great. I'm sure the cake was a hit!

How lovely!!!!! your piping is great...looks like beautiful ribbon roses...

You did a super job on this, it looks great. Now I want to try it myself (actually, just a large bite would do for now!)

Thanks for posting the info, really helpful.

Thanks so much for the template, I will also be trying this next week!

Okay I know this is a silly question, but when making a CCC do you leave the cupcakes in their wrappers?

thanks for this! its so cute and looks relatively easy to do!

adorable!!!! Love it!

Right to my favs!!! just adorable! Hohoho!!!

I love it! It's really fabulous.

I'm a newbie and I have a question about the face.

How did you get those four face cupcakes to all look like one area?

I can't see a cupcake at all!

That is way too cute. I love it, going in my favs. I will have to do one of these for my nieces,nephew and daughter!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks you did a great job and Cakerator had a great creation!

Well Done!

Thanks for all the nice comments. To answer a couple questions:
1. I didn't use a template for the CCC diagram, just drew it. 2. For the face I just frosted the topr of the cupcakes smooth. There are several forum posts about CCC's if you just do a search you'll find it. 3. Leave the cupcakes in their liners.

It looks really great. Fantastic idea for kids. The love cup cakes.
