frozen CRANBERRY PICKS

I made a bunch of frozen Cranberry Picks to put in drinks on Christmas Day. 

A fun, simple way to make drinks festive and keep them chilled.

origami Santa's

I made some little origami Santa's late last night just for the fun of it. They are only about an inch and a half tall and are so quick to make.  

Ho Ho Ho!

TRES LECHES Christmas Cupcakes

Last weekend was our annual White Elephant Christmas Party and the food theme this year was Mexican. I couldn't decided what to make for the potluck until a friend suggested Tres Leches { 3 milks } Cake. I had never made or ever eaten Tres Leches cake before however once she described it I knew right away I wanted to try it. 

 The food at this party is served buffet style and is eaten mostly while standing so I thought it might be more convenient to serve cupcakes which would be easy to grab and go. 

Since the 3 milks that the cupcakes are soaked in have a tendency to seep out at the bottom I decided to use foil cupcake liners to keep the milk mixture contained and help prevent messy fingers. 

I also put some of the cupcakes in red and clear plastic cups and served those with a spoon. That worked well and looked pretty cute too. 

Little Tres Leches Parfaits!

The cupcakes were a hit with our friends at the party and also with my family so I will definitely be making them again.
