Snowflake cupcakes can be served all winter long — not just around the holidays. Make yours out of standard ‘ol cupcake batter from your choice of flavors. Top of a luscious swirl of buttercream frosting (again, any flavor, any color, although blue is recommended.) And then add a few pearl dragees and some fondant snowflakes. If you want to top that, consider adding on a few sprinkles of shimmery edible sugar to make it look as though everything has (slightly) iced over. Tasty and beautiful!

Holiday OREO Stuffed Cupcakes
What do a box of Oreo cookies, a packet of red velvet cake mix, a jar of marshmallow creme and a tub of cool whip have in common? Did you say Holiday Oreo Stuffed Cupcakes? If you did, you would be right. These tasty treats have an entire Oreo cupcake baked into each cupcake (the trick is to place them in the cupcake liners, then top them with red velvet cupcake dough.) After they have cooled, stuff the middles with a combination of the cool whip and marshmallow creme, then serve!

Cupcakes with Peanut Butter Cup Trees
It isn’t too late for cupcakes with Peanut Butter Cup trees, I promise. In fact, if you add some white royal icing on the tips of the “tree limbs” you could get away with this deliciousness all through winter! Imagine the possibilities for winter tree cupcakes for your office party in January, with the branches covered in white sugar crystals to simulate snow or even in March with green icing and just a smattering of sugar crystals indicating the end of winter and the beginning of spring. The possibilities abound in decoration and flavor options.

Salted Caramel Cupcakes
The alternate name for these salted caramel cupcakes should be “caramel overload.” Look at this way: the cupcakes contain both caramel and apples, along with cinnamon, nutmeg, eggs, flour and a handful of other ingredients. The frosting contains caramel – plus vanilla, butter and powdered sugar. And, last but not least, there is a generous drizzle of homemade caramel sauce poured on top of these baked, frosted treats. And a sprinkling of sea salt, just to further enhance all of those tasty caramel flavors.
