Read a little more about some of the December holiday cupcakes:
Strawberry Champagne – nothing says party like popping open the bubbly! Cupcake Royale has spiked this vanilla cupcake with Champagne topped with Skagit Valley strawberry buttercream and golden sprinkles. It will be a Happy New Year indeed if these babies are a part of your party! (Available Dec. 26th – 31st only)
Gingerbread – everything you love about gingerbread – the delicious smell of molasses, ginger, spice, and chocolate blended together into a sublime cupcake and topped with classic Cupcake Royale cream cheese frosting and adorned with a homemade gingerbread man. Kids and adults alike go gaga for them.
Eggnog – a holiday favorite beloved by all. It starts with a favorite local eggnog and is then whipped into a magical buttercream with just the right amount of nutmeg and a swirl atop of vanilla buttercake. We say add your own brandy.
