Holiday Cupcakes

NOTE: This is a tandem post; Audrey's commentary is left-aligned, Molly's is right-aligned and italicized.

You may have read our last post about Christmas bread pudding (or if you haven't, go read it now!), but knowing our family, one scrumptious dessert during our celebrations doesn't cut it.

Having bread pudding on Christmas Day is all well and good, but we wouldn't want Christmas Eve to feel overlooked, now do we?  We have a "no hurt feelings" policy here at The Batter Thickens. No holiday or special occasion will go uncelebrated by a baked good to recognize the occasion!

So on Christmas Eve, Molly and I each made a batch of cupcakes. I made chocolate cupcakes with peppermint buttercream, she made chocolate gingerbread cupcakes with marscapone frosting.
