Santa's North Pole Cupcakes

My aunt decided that she will be giving everyone cupcakes this Christmas. She wasn't kidding and had me working like crazy all week. First, my aunt asked me to make two dozen cupcakes for two families who have young children. Sticking with the Christmas theme, we made chocolate cupcakes with vanilla buttercream (snow) decorated with some cute penguins, polar bears, snowman, reindeers, and elves. Yes, we know that some of these animals don't happen to live in the same hemisphere, but for this magical time, we will go against our teachings.
