Move over, fondant flowers – snowmen are stealing the spotlight this winter! ❄️ Beijing-based content creator Candice just leveled up dessert diplomacy with her adorable snowman-themed cupcakes, joining a viral #MakeASnowmanChallenge to cheer on Harbin’s upcoming 2025 Asian Winter Games.
The edible art – complete with piped frosting scarves and candy-button eyes – blends foodie creativity with sports spirit ahead of next February’s icy showdown. Over 2,000 athletes from 45 Asian countries and regions will compete in events like speed skating and ski jumping, making this China’s first Winter Games host city since Beijing 2022. 🌨️⛸️
\"It’s about celebrating community through something universal – like dessert,\" Candice told us, encouraging others to post their own frosty creations. Whether you’re crafting snow dumplings in Seoul or snowflake lattes in Jakarta, organizers say any creative tribute counts. 🥟☕
With the Games aiming to boost winter sports tourism in Northeast China, locals hope these sweet gestures will melt into a warmer welcome for global visitors. Ready to join the chill? Grab your mittens – or your mixing bowls! 🧤👩🍳
