Tis the season to indulge and enjoy! I went to a Christmas party a few weeks back and boy was it a joy or what! The Tellier Christmas party is an event we look forward to for an entire year and it just gets bigger and better with every passing year. Although, I have joined the ritual a little late, but my husband has been attending the Tellier Xmas party for 7 years now.. and they've been hosting it for I don't even know how many years.. The Tellier Family hosts this event at their home in Jackson, New Jersey, which is a good 90-100 miles from our house. We make a trip down to Jersey, regardless.. Wouldn't miss the event of the year for anything..
This year, however, there was a winter weather advisory posted for the day of the party, and it was the first snowfall of the season, making us question our decision to drive.. now amongst, all this decision making, I had decided to take dessert to the party and had been scratching my head as to what would be a quick, easy to make and easy to transport dessert for the party.Was debating between a Christmas Log Cake and Red Velvet Cupcakes. Of course, one would be traditional, but the other would be fun and easy to carry. So I decided to go with the latter. Luckily for us, the snow did not accumulate as much as we had expected, and most people had their snowmen melting pretty fast, and so my Melting Snowman cupcakes only seemed fitting for the occasion.
Cupcakes in general are really easy to make and super easily to decorate. For this particular party though, I made mini cupcakes since they would be great bite sized desserts with such a big crowd. Hope you enjoy this recipe and the simple decoration tips that I used to make them stand out..
