It’s that time of year once again, time to shop ‘til you drop, time to go off to Grandma’s and time to BAKE! By day, I have a desk job, so I do a lot of my shopping on the Internet, but I do occasionally take leave of my senses and go to the mall. Last Sunday, we traveled to Grandma’s house for the annual family Christmas gathering. It’s funny how you see your own kids getting older and bigger but don’t expect anyone else’s kids to have done the same.
Now, for the baking! I haven’t yet done my ohmygoshit’sChristmassoIhavetobakeeverything baking. I had already done 2 pumpkin rolls (1 to take and 1 for my husband and son) and I decided to bake some cupcakes as there would be a lot of kids at our gathering. I decided on a winter theme and came up with the “winter wonderland” cupcake.
Here’s the link to the white cupcake recipe:
I used a basic buttercream tinted blue using Wilton gel dye Light Blue. I made my snowflakes with white chocolate melting wafers and used my squeeze bottle to shape them. Oops…before I forget. I added a little peppermint extract to the white chocolate before forming the snowflakes. I then put coarse ground sugar on the chocolate to look like snow or ice crystals.
They were yummy…and I only brought 3 home!
