So many holiday parties to go to and so little time to bake. Fortunately we’ve got cupcake stores to save us. Most have the standard peppermint or gingerbread flavored cute cakes while others have their own holiday take on the cake.
Sprinkles is offering seasonal dozen JOY boxes ($36 or $3.25 per cupcake) filled with the following selection:
- Chocolate Peppermint: Belgian dark chocolate cake with bittersweet chocolate-peppermint frosting and topped with crushed peppermint candies
- Eggnog Spice: Spice cake with eggnog cream cheese frosting
- Vanilla-Peppermint: Madagascar bourbon vanilla cake with vanilla-peppermint frosting and topped with crushed peppermint candies
Susie Cakes not only has spiced gingerbread cupcakes with cream cheese frosting and chocolate peppermint ones with candy cane topping ($3 each) but gingerbread men, a traditional rolled Yule log cake and egg nog cheesecake with sour cream topping that you can bring to that holiday party. OR if you want to go all out, there’s a decorated gingerbread house that you can get personalized with a family name.
Vanilla Bake Shop has Gingerbread Spice and Chocolate Peppermint cupcakes and cupcake babies. For the party, grab a box of 2 dozen babies for $44 or 1 dozen cupcakes for $44 (24-hour notice required). You can have them dressed up in festive decor, just request it.
Yummy Cupcakes has lots to choose from this season: holiday spice, egg nog, peppermint patty, candy cane, cranberry vanilla, pumpkin pie and hot chocolate. Just check the December menu to find which days have what. Also I noticed they have some wine-inspired flavors available this month, like the interesting-sounding lemon pinot grigio and chocolate merlot, and even a festive champagne cream and spiked egg nog. Fun!
cant do sprinkles without mentioning CRUMBS!! and you should see (and taste) thier holiday cupcakes!!
I would have mentioned Crumbs but couldn’t find anything about their holiday flavors. Plus they’re not the sort of thing I would bring to a party as their portions are Costco huuuuge.
I was just in Crumbs this weekend and they have the CUTEST Hanukkah and Christmas cupcakes actually! And to make you happy Caroline, they are also offering them in their bitesize version which i noticed at the cash register counter.
They also had Star of David and Menorah cookies. Not positive, but assuming they will have christmas cookies as well.
Also have to give them props for decorating the store so nice for the holiday season. Go Crumbs!
Yeah? Well then I’ll definitely have to give it a look-see. Thanks for the heads-up!
