Comforting Cupcakes

This past holiday season I shared a few hundred cupcakes with the Houston Area Women's Center.  Cupcakes always bring smiles no matter where you are or who you celebrate with to find joy during a season of endings and beginnings.  

I started early in the morning choosing flavors.  Vanilla, chocolate and buttercream seem to be  the wisest choices.  As the morning sailed on both mixers were at full speed whipping up batter faster than my oven could bake.  Look at these cute little pillows of cake ready to be topped with vanilla frosting.

Green, red and white frosting with gold sparkles brought these bites of comfort to life. Only a few were lost to my husband's tummy.  But it is always good to have quality assurance, right?!

Happy Holidays!!!  

With Love
