christmas bake-off part two:


It all started with one little cupcake. Cute, right? Not scary at all.
A dark chocolate peppermint cupcake with vanilla buttercream and crumbled candy canes on top. Even used a nice recipe from the sadly defunct Gourmet as a tribute (with added peppermint extract).
But then, they started to multiply-- tiny, minty warriors.


All the while, I feel ashamed. Will I be overtaken by a monster of my own creation?


But I regained control and paired them off, two by two.


One hundred and twenty-six tiny cupcakes later, they became the perfect army of happy homemade Christmas joy.
