Christmas Spirit!

I don't know what it is about this year...maybe it's the weather, or just being super busy...but it does not feel like CHRISTMAS TIME!  It makes me quite sad that I can't get into the Christmas spirit - I love buying gifts, wrapping them, decorating and of course making Christmas sweets!

It's been tough with my hours at work, then training for a half marathon (I'm crazy..I know)!  I just haven't had that much time to make super special Christmas/holiday treats.  I did have a request for Red Velvet Cupcakes for the beginning of December, so I decided to make them somewhat festive!  I made everything from scratch, including the cream cheese icing, then added some white sprinkles (to look like snow) and a candy cane as the North Pole!  What do you think?

Stay tuned... Christmas cookies are coming up this weekend and next, any suggestions on some new recipes I should try?!  Bake ON!!
