Christmas for me, ever since I was born, has always involved at real Christmas tree. Until we get the tree into our house and it infuses it with its beautiful pine smell, I really cant get into the Christmas vibe. Now we have the tree, and I am in the Christmas mood!!
I had my last shift for the year yesterday, and I baked Christmas cupcakes for all my fellow nurses and our reception staff. I made two different flavours, Ginger Bread Cupcakes from here, and Milk & Cookies (Santa's Fave!) Cupcakes from my recipe book Crazy About Cupcakes.
The Ginger bread ones had cinnamon cream cheese frosting, and the Milk & Cookies one had Choc-Vanilla Frosting. Both flavours were very popular. Pity it was such a crazy busy shift to finish up on, but now I have two precious weeks off...and with my shiny new sewing machine sitting under the tree, I cant wait to start some new projects!
I will post a photo of our beautiful Christmas tree once all the presents are wrapped and sitting underneith it! I will be baking gingerbread cookies soon!

awww man! Gingerbread cupcakes? Geeeez that sounds so good! I can't believe it is almost Christmas! :) I think if I had a nice delicious gingerbread cupcake that would def get me more into the season! I have never even heard of milk and cookie cupcakes!?? I started doing swap-bot thanks to you! I can't wait for my first one! And thanks for the suggestion for that magazine! I will have to check it out!
Just stumbled across your blog through the cupcakes-blog, Where I was looking for some good frosting recipes (they don't do frosting here in Norway, just mix powdered sugar with water and spread it over, very sad,indeed)
I love your blog, cupcakes and crafty stuff, just my cup of tea.
And the deer cookie jar in one of your earlier post must be one of the cutest thing I've seen in my entire life.
Merry Christmas to you, and don't be surprised to see me following your blog in the future :)
