Mmmm. Here’s the cupcake for you to share with Santa by the fireplace: mulled wine cupcakes.
Not familiar with “mulled wine?” It’s wine, simmered with ingredients like cinnamon, allspice and cloves until the air smells as warm and inviting as the holidays. Don’t be timid about experimenting with your wines or your spices. Then trust your nose. (Although sampling might be half the fun of being the chef for this one!)
“May Bakes Cakes” of Corby, England has a Facebook page and she labels herself as “Artist.” It’s the right label. With creations like these snowmen, santa, and penguin, it’s the title I would confer upon her, too.
Novel in her approach using FB, May’s Facebook page also has a “snowman tutorial” with step-by-step instructions for snowmen that would be perfect cupcake toppers.
May is also so kind as to provide a separate Facebook page with a “penguin tutorial,” as well.
As far as I can tell, there is only one flaw: who could ever eat such sweet treats?
