Christmas parties are everywhere it seems…school, work, clubs, friends, family, you name it! There is nothing better to take than cute cupcakes, making you the talk of the party. Cupcakes are made in a variety of flavors, colors and decorations.
Here are some examples of some easy cupcakes you can make at home to share with friends and family at the next party or get-together.
These Edible Ornament Cupcakes are so easy and oh-so-cute. The cake can be any flavor you would like, frost and then decorate. These would be a lot of fun to do with the kids to let them use their imaginations and be proud of helping with a yummy treat. Use colored frosting, candy and sprinkles to make your ornaments unique. Place a miniature Reeses Peanut Butter Cup on top with a pretzel piece for the hook.
The Best-Dressed Snowman Cupcakes are easy to make and will make you look like a professional baker, even if you are a novice. To make these cupcakes, simply bake cupcakes like normal and place a frosted cookie on top as the head. The scarf is a gum drop that has been rolled flat and the hat is a black gum drop cut in half.
If you need something for an older crowd that you want to look elegant and festive, try these Christmas Tree Cupcakes. The cupcake is actually baked in a waffle cone, then turned upside down and placed on top of a cupcake. The cone-shaped cake is covered with stars of frosting to give the appearance of a Christmas tree.
If you don’t have a lot of time to decorate, but want something festive, try to make these Eggnog-Latte Christmas Cupcakes. You may follow the recipe for egg nog flavored cupcakes or use any flavor you would like. Frost the cakes with whipped cream frosting and sprinkle with snowflake shaped sprinkles. If you want shaped sprinkles, take a look through the baking goods at all major grocery and super-stores. You will be amazed and the variety of shapes that are available. Stick a candy cane in the cake to top it off and you are done, but be warned, if you place candy canes in the refrigerator they will melt.
For a little more snowman fun, why not try these Snowman Cupcakes. They are made with cupcakes as a base, miniature cupcakes as the middle and a marshmallow as the head. After frosting the cupcakes, sprinkle with a small amount of coconut to make the appearance of snow. Place a miniature Reeses Peanut Butter Cup upside down on the top of the marshmallow to make a hat. Decorate with colored icing and candy, along with pretzel sticks for arms.
Anyway to cut it, cupcakes are fun, easy and always a hit. Use your imagination and see what you can come up with, combine a few ideas listed and create something truly unique.
