Festive Reindeer Cupcakes

Bakerella's Christmas Cupcake Recipe Recreates Santa's Reindeer

This cute Christmas cupcake recipe from Bakerella turns a plain chocolate dessert into something that's fun and festive for the holiday season. The dessert starts with a base of miniature chocolate cupcakes, which have been dipped in a coating of melted chocolate candy wafers to give the cupcakes a smooth surface. Once dry, on top of this, a few simple additions like candy eyes, a jellybean nose and chocolate antlers can be added to make the cupcakes even cuter.

For most of the reindeer, Bakerella uses a black jellybean nose and one special shiny red candy to mimic the look of Rudolph's glowing nose. These would make fantastic holiday treats to bring to or serve at a holiday party, especially since each reindeer treat has the potential to give off a lot of personality.
