Baking inspiration can come from many places: a cookbook, a novel, or even everyday life. The middle option is the case with these Christmas cupcakes. Inspired by the book “Christmas at the Cupcake Cafe,” these mocha candy cane cupcakes have a deep, rich mocha chocolate peppermint base, a generous dose of peppermint Swiss meringue buttercream frosting, a lovely drizzle of (you guessed it!) even more chocolate, and a sprinkling of tiny peppermint bits to top them off.

Just because you plan on serving cupcakes at your Christmas parties this year, that doesn’t mean that they need to be decorated with holiday-themed fondant wreaths, santas, snowmen or elves. In fact, they can be elegant and simple, yet holiday-ready at the same time. A beautiful edible cherry, leaf or button coated in edible gold glitter and placed on top of a vanilla flavored, white frosted cupcake can set the holiday mood just as much as one covered in red and green.
