Holly Cupcakes
These holly cupcakes are brightly colored and look fantastic. The red and green sweets teamed with the white frosting are a striking combination.
I tend to use vanilla cupcakes but you can use your favorite recipe. Red Velvet and Chocolate cupcakes are also suitable.
You will need:
- Red candy-coated chocolate balls
- Spearmint leaves
- vanilla cupcake mixture
- vanilla buttercream
Spread the frosting over the cupcakes.
Split spearmint leaves in half horizontally and gently place on the frosting. Use three jaffas, or other red candy-coated balls, as the holly berries.
I like to use red or green paper cases as I think it adds to the festive look. There are also lots of gorgeous Christmas cupcake wrappers available which I think look fantastic. I have a selection of my favorite Christmas supplies available on my Christmas cupcakes page.
