Christmas desserts – Cupcakes

The series of Christmas inspiration posts continues with a heavily illustrated article about Christmas desserts recipes, mainly cupcake designs to drool over. Don't forget to check out the rest of the Holiday themed articles I published so far!

I’m always looking for easy Christmas cookies and there are so many mind-blowing adorable cupcakes ideas, I had to make a separate post about them.
You can use basic cupcake recipes as a base and then go crazy with the decorating part – we’re talking fun cupcake wrappers, cupcake liners and any other cupcake supplies you can think of.

I would recommend to start with simple vanilla cupcakes (but there are hundreds of recipes for cupcakes online so you can choose your favorite flavor) which are an easy to make dessert and then choose a few of these fancy cupcakes designs and bring them to life. I'm partial to banana cupcakes and red velvet cupcakes so these are the flavors I plan to work with.

In-house cupcake bakery - festive bows, snowflakes, polka dots and cranberries are perfect to transform your sweet treats into official Christmas party food 

Snowflake cupcakes - use a classy color combination - how about blue and white frosting on chocolate cupcakes?

 The snowmen with earmuffs have to be the cutest winter themed cupcakes ever!

 Star shaped sprinkles on delicious gourmet cupcakes go a long way!

The cupcake Christmas tree and edible Christmas wreath are also brilliant ideas!
