Frosty The Cupcake . . .

Is a Jolly Holly Elf.

Frosty

Is joined by a small army of Snowmen

Who all get captured and put into a cello bag, tied with a red ribbon

And plopped in a basket

And taken away . . .

To be party favors for a birthday luncheon.

It was my treat for the guests at our Wednesday Birthday Luncheon Group.

I was the honoree . . . but everyone got a cupcake

(and a slice of real cake)

to take home . . . for themselves . . . for their husband or for their grandchildren!

The cupcakes were easy -- a favorite recipe from Nigella that makes just 12 cupcakes.   I added peppermint extract to the batter before I baked.

I frosted them with cream cheese frosting, sprinkled the frosting with white chocolate sprinkles and plopped the snowman into the "snow".

You could use a cake mix (but it would make 24 cupcakes instead of 12 -- but is that bad?).

It's Friday and I'm sharing Frosty with Michael at Rattlebridge Farm for Foodie Friday.
