These lovely cupcakes were made on the very first Christmas I hosted at my home. The kids and I really enjoyed making the fun cupcakes. They were so easy as well. :) The possibilities are endless when it comes to decorating them.

I began helping in the kitchen at a very young age. Baking as well as cooking runs in my family. My ancestors when they came from Europe opened a chocolate shop here. Cooking is like parenting. It takes love, patience, discipline,and always expect the unexpected because sometimes that is when the best recipies happen but overall in the end it is worth it :)
