Wednesday, December 8th: Eggnog Cupcakes with Eggnog and Rum Frosting

 

This Wednesday's cupcake was eggnog. I made 24 mini cupcakes and then some regular sized cupcakes with the remaining batter. The cupcake itself was very moist; almost too moist. Although the cupcake had been baked all the way through, there was still a very mushy consistency to these cupcakes that was a little unappealing. The taste however was great! I had the same problem with the eggnog frosting, it did not want to thicken up. This made the frosting fairly difficult to work with. Overall these were not my favourite cupcakes to make, or taste. However, it was extremely surprising the amount of people who were not eggnog fans and really enjoyed them.

Wednesday's Winner: Eggnog Cupcakes!

  

I really thought at the beginning of the week that Apple Cider would be this Wednesday's victor, and while it started off strong, Eggnog fans didn't give up. So Eggnog cupcakes it is! I can't wait to see how they turn out, hope you will check back tomorrow to see for yourself! Thanks for voting this week... New Christmas Flavour Poll will be up on Thursday!

Results:

Eggnog: 18

Apple Cider: 13

Wednesday December 1st: Candy Cane Cupcakes with White Chocolate Peppermint Frosting and Candy Cane Pieces

Well, it's December 1st and the pressure is now on to fit in all your shopping, get-togethers, baking and prepping for the holidays. The best way to remove yourself from the stresses of the season are to enjoy some of the holidays best offerings... and these candy cane cupcakes do the job. The cupcake turned out quite different from my previous experiments. The candy cane topping made a more chewy topping with the rich white chocolate peppermint frosting and a more subtle peppermint cupcake. I think you will enjoy these.
