On my previous post, I told you a brought some mulled wine icing sugar so guess what this will be about?
Mulled wine cupcakes of course! I would like to say there is actual mulled wine in these so they are good for the kiddies too.
The cupcakes are a nice red colour to make them look a little bit like mulled wine but I went for a nice white buttercream. The buttercream could be snow and we all like a glass of hot mulled wine on a cold day.
Again I went for little candy canes as a decorative item in these cupcakes. I really enjoyed making these cupcakes and the mulled wine icing sugar smells incredible.
Of course you could add actual mulled wine if you wanted to give a more adult feel to these cupcakes but I made these for a bake sale so thought it best not to add actual mulled wine.
These cupcakes felt like a good way to start off all my Christmas baking.
