Christmas Cupcakes

These were made weeks ago, but I was just too lazy to post them :-P They were made at different times, for different people - friends, neighbours, teachers and colleagues. They were mostly vanilla and chocolate cupcakes with vanilla buttercream frosting.

Time for joy, and time for cheer

Christmas eve had never been so stressful. Had gone to work for half day, then did some mega last-minute shopping (had to buy ingredients for fried rice I had to cook for church for boxing day), then chopped up branches and dropped them at the tip; then baked 2 chocolate mudcakes and 30 chocolate cupcakes with peanut butter frosting for Christmas eve and Christmas day dinners.

But I consider busy at Christmas time good- makes it more festive and less lonely.

Happy Christmas!

Raspberry Cupcakes with White Chocolate Buttercream Frosting

This is, again, from my Primrose Bakery book. The frosting is made by mixing melted white chocolate pieces with vanilla buttercream frosting. I only made this when I had some buttercream leftover as the recipe only requires four tablespoons of it. My kids loved it! Maybe because they love raspberries :-)
