Sweet Tidings 12th Day of Christmas: Holly Berry Christmas Cupcakes

by - Tuesday, December 21, 2010


Here's an easy cupcake recipe that is inspired by my favorite Christmas symbol-- the holly berry. The cupcake base is made using Ming Makes Cupcakes' graham cupcake recipe while the butter cream frosting recipe is from Martha Stewart. Of course, sweet holly berry candy sprinkles decorate this very yummy cupcake treat.
