Christmas!

Christmas! Ten days away! *insert panic here* Seriously, though, this is my favorite time of year and I say this every year, but this might be my favorite Christmas yet :) My boys are yet another year older and I love how Christmas takes on a completely new meaning when you have children. It's just fabulous. I've especially enjoyed making presents with my 4-year-old to give as gifts to his grandparents, teacher, etc. this year. Fun stuff!

So it must have been about 2 weeks ago now that I was up for 3 dozen more cupcakes with a Christmas theme. Being as these were for my sister to market with, I had a little bit more freedom in choosing flavors, etc. I went with red velvet (I'm loving the cream cheese frosting right now) and cookies & cream (they got rave reviews last time I made them). It was also the same day as my brother's birthday and so I made attempt 2 at carrot cake cupcakes (which, by the way, turned out ah-mazing).

Now these next ones were the fail of the night. They were supposed to look like this (well, the concept at least):

But ended up looking like this:

I did not have stawberries. I did not have time to go to the store. So I tried an all-frosting version. Definitely didn't go quite as planned. Thankfully though, it's Christmas-time, they are red and white...it worked. I apologize for the horrible photos!
