Christmas Cupcakes

Candy can cupcakes from Cake Days by Hummingbird Bakery though with cherry syrup instead of peppermint essence (yuk!) and LOTS of red food colouring!

 

Gingerbread cupcakes from the LOLA cupcake book, much spicier than the Hummingbird recipe but very well received.  

Pancake Cake

 

Thick layers of sultana buttermilk pancakes with spiced apple butter in each layer with maple syrup sweetened mascarpone with lemon juice and chopped caramelised hazelnuts, yum!

This year I used crystallised ginger, figs, dates, sultanas and tropical fruit with allspice and I used spiced rum, I'm looking forward to trying it.
