Christmas Cupcakes

Page 204 - Christmas Cupcakes

I made these for Christmas Day and typically there was so much food that these were barely touched but I liked them.

A change from the usual light, fluffy Hummingbird cupcake these were more dense and had lots of soaked fruit in. As a fan of marzipan/almond flavours I love the icing as it contained almond essence (I may have gone a bit nuts with the amount I used!), although dad wasn't keen! Perhaps these would be nice with no icing or with basic buttercream icing for those that don't like marzipan. I enjoyed decorating them in a Christmas fashion for a change too.
