Winter Party Cupcakes

'Tis the season to entertain! We were asked to make chocolate cupcakes for a winter-themed holiday party that incorporated chocolate-orange and mint. For the decorations, we made a cute assortment of mittens, snow people, snowflakes, and holly. As always, check out our flickr photostream or become a fan on our facebook page for more photos! Our previous cupcake projects can be found categorized on the right side-bar (or scroll down to go to the next page).

Don't you love how it looks like chocolate soft-serve? Yummy!
