Christmas party cupcakes...

we are getting into the spirit of Christmas with festive cupcake flavors (and we think you need some at your holiday party!)

Cranberry Orange Clove...vanilla clove cake, filled with house-made orange curd, topped with orange frosting and "frosted" cranberries.

Candy Cane Cupcakes...chocolate cake, filled with fresh mint fudge, topped with vanilla frosting and crushed candy canes

Black Friday Cupcakes...chocolate cake, filled with vanilla pastry cream, topped with chocolate fudge frosting and dark chocolate sauce.

Are there certain flavors, smells, sights that make you feel like it's Christmas?  Please share and let's turn it into a Christmas cupcake flavor!

taking a break from pumpkins...

making holiday cupcake flavors

Chocolate Gingersnap...chocolate, molasses cake on on top of a buttery gingersnap crust, filled with chocolate mousse, topped with fresh ginger chocolate frosting and gingersnap crumbs

Honey Hazelnut (dreamt up by Kevin!)...vanilla bean cake, filled with fluffy honey hazelnut mascarpone mousse, topped with honey sweet cream cheese frosting, honey doughnut glaze and chopped hazelnuts.  Possibly the best flavor we've ever made! 

We also have banana cream pie & pomegranate orange...Christmas is coming!
