If you’ve been hunting for the perfect holiday cupcake, look no further than these double-frosted beauties. Yes, you heard that right: double frosted. These cocoa cupcakes are topped with a sweet and decadent chocolate glaze, then a tasty marshmallow buttercream. Toss on a few crushed candy cane crumbles, some coarse sugar, or even small red sprinkles to add another layer of flavor and fun! The best part? Eating them, of course!

Christmas Cupcakes
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.

Reindeer Cupcakes
Creativity is the key to making cupcakes that stand out from the rest of the sugar-frosted, sprinkle-coated crowd. Take these Reindeer cupcakes, for example. The batter can be utterly unremarkable — as long as it is tasty. It’s the reindeer decorations that make it unique. From the chocolate frosting to the candy eyes and (red) nose, the pretzel antlers and the Werther’s Original snout (under the candy nose) these adorable reindeer cupcakes are both adorable and edible!

Mini Christmas tree cupcakes
Who says that cupcakes have to be round? These whimsical treats are both colorful and tasty – and come in both square and the traditional cupcake “round” shapes. While the cupcake batter may be standard — both chocolate and vanilla are options — the frosting is what makes them stand out from the crowd. Coated with fondant in whimsical designs, like santa getting stuck in a chimney, colorful gifts, and snowflake patterns, these mini Christmas cupcakes will be a hit at your holiday party!
