This year, when Santa slides down the chimney at our house, he will have a surprise in store. Because instead of cookies, there will be special Christmas Cupcakes waiting for him. And I hear through the grapevine that Santa really digs cupcakes!
Devil's food cupcakes, in fact, with luscious vanilla buttercream
Decorated with lots of fun Royal Icing Cupcake Toppers -- many in his own likeness
And just in case he is still hungry, we will set out a few extra for the road
I hope that Santa enjoys eating them, as much as I enjoyed making them.
Merry Christmas everyone!
