1. To make the icing, combine the marshmallows and the milk in a pan and melt together over a very low heat, stirring ofetn to prevent sticking and burning. Transfer into a bowl and allow to cool completely.
2. Meanwhile, beat the cream cheese together with the vanilla until smooth.

4. Transfer the marshmallow icing into a piping bag and snip off the end. Without using a nozzle, pipe straight onto the top of the cupcakes to make the snowmen’s bodies.
