Christmas parties

Earlier this week I had two parties to make cupcakes for. I needed 40 cupcakes for a children's school Christmas party and 48 cupcakes for a work Christmas party. They were both a mix of devil's food, strawberry & vanilla. They were my neapolitan cupcakes :)

The cupcakes for the school party were requested to be fun and festive. That I could handle.

What's more fun and festive than snowmen and Rudolf?

The adult Christmas party cupcakes were festive, also, but definitely more adult.

These ones are just green sprinkles and then crushed peppermint candies.

These were definitely some fun cupcakes to make!

Strawberry

I tried a new strawberry cupcake recipe a few days ago and can we just say delish! There may be a foot of snow on the ground outside, but the smell of those beautiful strawberries being pureed was pure delight and made me think of summer...*sigh*.

They all had a beautiful pink color to them , but as me & my husband quickly realized, the first batch definitely needed more strawberry! The second batch were much more strawberry-ish. We are definitely loving these cupcakes!

Monsters!
