Merry Christmas! I made four different types of cupcakes to create a box of cupcakes to give to everyone in my extended family. This is the first type, and personally, my favorite. It's an eggnog cake (I altered the recipe from last year - last year it didn't taste nearly enough like eggnog.) The wreath I piped on using the leaf tip. It was a little time consuming to do the white frosting and then pipe on the wreath, but definitely worth it.
This was my second type. A dark chocolate cake, with a mini peppermint patty inside, with a peppermint frosting. It's a great combination and the cupcake came out lovely. The little tree/reindeer cupcake toppers came from Joanne's.
Red Velvet! My first attempt using my grandmother's recipe and it came out splendidly. My sister said these were completely addicting. Such strange things in a red velvet, like buttermilk, and vinegar. The frosting is just a buttercream.
Hello gingerbread person! The gingerbread person is fittingly for a gingerbread cake. I really love gingerbread, and I used the same recipe last year. I really do love this recipe. The gingerbread topper comes from Joanne's.
And now... the entire box of cupcakes!
