Easy Christmas Cupcake Decorations Easy Christmas Cupcake Decorations
I thought up this idea while making the tree cake from.Wreath decorations are so Christmas-like! The matcha cheese cream is just like the one from the tree cake recipe, so you can make them both at the time time!The instructions here are very similar to what's shown in, but this recipe uses less cream and yields cupcakes that are sweeter and moister. You can use either-or as you like. You can also just decorate store-bought cupcakes. For 10 cupcakes (6 cm [2.4 in] wide x 3 cm tall). Recipe by vegeful

Roasted Turkey Cupcakes Roasted Turkey Cupcakes
I found this in an English-language cookbook I bought recently, and I thought it was really unique, so I tried making it while translating it. The original recipe had some ingredients that are hard to come by, so I adapted it.If you heat the caramel too long it will become hard to form, so warm it up slowly while observing it closely. Use the frosting as a glue to stick together. Recipe by Du-ma -

Decorated Strawberry Cupcakes Decorated Strawberry Cupcakes
When you squeeze butter-rich cream on the cupcakes and chill them in the refrigerator, they harden easily. So I decided to make with a fluffy sponge cake base. I got the idea to gouge out the center from Chie Kato's cook book. The difference in the outcome is worth the extra effort!You don't need to add coconut, but adding it changes the texture and makes them tastier.I used cupcake holders that were quite deep so I could only make 4, but if you use regular muffin cups, I think you could probably get 5-6. If you only make 4, you'll have some strawberry cream leftover. For 4-6 cupcakes. Recipe by nyonta
