Festive Holiday Cupcake Selection | Baking a Moment

A Festive Cupcake Selection for your Holiday Dessert Table

Your Holiday Guests will love Sampling all the Festive flavors in this Cupcake Selection!

Do you like to entertain at this time of year?  Holiday parties, with friends and loved ones, cocktails, lots of presents, and yummy food?

Mr. Allie and I host Christmas Eve every year, gathering both sides of our family together with all the little ones tumbling at our feet, a roaring fire in the fireplace, and all the most sinful and tempting treats we could bookmark throughout the year leading up to it.  We look so forward to it, because it’s just so intimate and relaxed, and anything goes as far as the food, as long as it’s delicious.

Of course, I’m sure you can imagine that there are lots of desserts.  I love being able to take lots of different tastes, and there are so many fun flavors to play around with at this time of year.  Cupcakes are great for entertaining, because they’re so portable and you don’t even need a fork!  Easy for guests and easy for the hostess too, come cleanup time.  😉

I’m so thrilled to have had the opportunity to develop three awesomely festive and seasonal cupcake recipes for KitchenAid’s blog, The Kitchenthusiast.  You guys are gonna love these!  First up is a Gingerbread Cupcake, stuffed with Lemon Curd and crowned with a fluffy whipped cream topping that will last into the wee hours, no collapsing, running, or weeping!  Followed by an Eggnog Cupcake filled to the brim with the most creamy-dreamy, rummy-boozy pastry cream, and topped with a Nutmeg Swiss Meringue Buttercream.  It’s like your favorite winter tipple in cupcake form!  And finally, a Hot Cocoa Cupcake with Whipped Peppermint Ganache filling and a Marshmallowy Meringue frosting.  I know.

Are you drooling yet?

All the cupcake recipes can be made in just one bowl, and they, along with many of the other components, can be made ahead and assembled just before your party.  So it’s totally doable!

Think your holiday guests might enjoy a flight of wintry cupcakes?  Head on over to The Kitchenthusiast to read the full post and download the recipes!
