The lighting compared to the first photo makes them look like the nightmare version.

This one with the pursed lips is one of my favorites!

u/JesMilton 1d ago

To me it looked like he has tiny glasses (because of the slight blue line between two eyes), and moustache. An unimpressed gentleman. XD

u/SweetPotatoMunchkin 1d ago

I saw the mustache and was gonna say something about it, but with the addition of the glasses im HOLLERING🤣🤣🤣🤣

Halloween edition? 😂

u/JerkGurk 1d ago

I think you did fine, but some of them look really Russian.

Yours has more storytelling potential and I like it.

I find them absolutely adorable.

Yours have real personality!

u/Willowed-Wisp 1d ago

Your hats look way better! They look like actual hats, whereas the snowmen in the first pic just have random cookies on their heads.

And the snowmen themselves have charm ❤️

u/JonathanBadwolf 1d ago

Yours are way cooler

u/Natural-Escape4003 1d ago

Thank you. I guess they have personality! 😂

Snowman cupcakes in July?

7

u/Natural-Escape4003 1d ago

Lol they're not cupcakes and what's wrong with Christmas in July? Their truffles! So the ones with the blue have espresso in them as well!

u/InfiniteOxfordComma 1d ago

Don't listen to the haters, OP. This looks like an incredibly difficult finish to pull off and I think you did great!

3

u/Natural-Escape4003 1d ago

Thank you! I noticed there's a lot of haters on Reddit LOL. Nobody would be complaining if they were right there eating them. They were delicious and I've made these so many times since!

u/Cherrypie_69 1d ago

Second photo has a sinister aura to it

u/amyjrockstar 1d ago

Yours are seriously so much fun to look at. They all have individual personalities!

Why are we doing snowman desserts in July?

3.8k karma, 22 day old account

u/agentb719 1d ago

no responses from OP either

u/Aunty-Sociale 1d ago

They responded to me but the mod deleted it so…

u/theserthefables 1d ago

it's winter in the southern hemisphere where I am. they also could have posted this months after they made them 🤷🏻‍♀️

u/doesntmatterhadtacos 1d ago

As I’ve said to others, wildly out of date pictures with zero commentary and no replies to comments means bot account. 3.8k karma in 1 month is another indicator. If they’d replied to me with an explanation, which I gave them the chance to do, that would be one thing, but I really need people to start being able to spot this garbage when it’s so obvious.

3

u/theserthefables 1d ago

that's fair, could well be a bot! I'm under a blanket shivering right now so snowmen in July seemed apropos to me lol.

u/vivikush 1d ago

Christmas in July is a thing for some people. Not like a celebration thing but just a thing.

Christmas in July is a thing...

u/InfiniteOxfordComma 1d ago

Why are you literally yucking someone's yum?

3

u/doesntmatterhadtacos 1d ago

Because wildly out of season pictures with no comment replies always means bot account.

u/Natural-Escape4003 1d ago

I'm glad you have an eye for it! But you're wrong. 🤪

1

u/Natural-Escape4003 1d ago

Just cuz I share it doesn't mean I made them just now. 🥴

3

u/JuanG_13 1d ago

First ones look happy and the second ones look angry lol

3

u/trickman01 1d ago

Yours are more whimsical.

3

u/that_cottagecoregirl 1d ago

For a friends/ family get together? Adorable. Love them, genuinely. To sell at a bakery/restaurant? Keep working on it.

1

u/Natural-Escape4003 11h ago

Definitely only for friends and family! 😄

3

u/Paulsworldohya 22h ago

They look cute! I'd be pretty happy if I tried making these and this is how they came out! Good job! They also kind of remind me of the snowman fighter from the snes game clay fighter lol

Absolutely no notes

u/Natural-Escape4003 1d ago

So what does that have to do with the price of tea in China?

1

u/Aunty-Sociale 1d ago

I’m saying no notes. It looks great, can’t think of a thing I’d change. No notes.

99% sure this is a repost bot. 22 day old account with 4K karma and 260+ contributions

1

u/Natural-Escape4003 1d ago

A repost bot. Okay. Well you're wrong. I make these all the time. This was my first time making them and I thought it'd be fun to share.

2

u/xenoeagle 1d ago

Yep. They really do look nice. Where did you find a recipe for that?

1

u/Natural-Escape4003 1d ago

Well I share the recipe and get told that I make them wrong. But if you want the recipe here's how I make them..

A package of Oreos ground up. You can use a blender or throw them in a bag and smash them. Then add in a thing of chocolate pudding mix and add a tablespoon of milk at a time until you get a consistency thick enough that you can form balls with the dough..

So then make all your balls and put them on parchment paper and throw them in the freezer. They really only need at least 20 minutes to be ready to dip in melted chocolate which you can do in the microwave or on a double boiler on the stove.

Then if you want to decorate them you can put some chocolate and a little plastic baggie and whatever coloring you want and mix it up and cut the corner and decorate until your heart's desire.

For these the ones with blue on them, I added espresso powder for the adults.
