Christmas Cupcakes

My nieces K5 teacher asked me last week to make cupcakes for the Happy Birthday Jesus birthday party that they had on Friday of this past week. I couldn't decide whether I wanted to go all Happy Birthday, Christmas decorations or all Religious so I decided to go with a little bit of all three. The Christmas tree is for Christmas decorations, the sprinkles are for Jesus' birthday and the other decorations are for Jesus' birth. I made angels, Baby Jesus in a manger, sheep, crowns and crosses.

They were a huge hit with the kids. They argued over who got which cupcakes.

MSC Cupcake Club - Gingerbread Cupcakes

This time of year is so crazy for me and I feel like I have been living in my kitchen working on holiday baking...and it shows no signs of letting up!! I love it though!

I had a Christmas party at my house last night and I made the Gingerbread Cupcakes to put on my dessert platter and they went over really well. I halved the recipe and made them in mini cupcakes as you can see. Mine got a little bit of a crunchy top on top (maybe because I made the smaller version) and it was actually really nice. It kind of gave an initial crunch like a cookie but then they were super moist inside.

I have never been a big fan of gingerbread but these surprised me. I could handle making these again sometime.

Thanks again to Kayte from Grandma's Kitchen Table for picking a great recipe!!
