My posts are a little out of order, but I knew if I didn't get Christmas done before this one it probably wouldn't get done. In the beginning of the month our Ward had its Christmas party. I don't know exactly how it happened, but I was asked to be in charge of the desserts. I spent a lot of time figuring out what I wanted to do. My mother-in-laws party was great practice for the Ward party because we had already tried out the mini cheesecakes and knew what it would take to make them. I decided to do the raspberry swirl and oreo mini cheesecakes as well as different kinds of cupcakes. I had a couple friends make a few batches of cupcakes, but I decided to decorate them all myself. I made over 120 cheesecakes and 200 cupcakes. It was a lot of work, but kind of fun. Next time I will delegate a little more. =) The cupcakes were cookie dough with cookie dough middles and cookie dough buttercream, mint chocolate with a mint buttercream, snickerdoodle with cinnamon buttercream, and s'more with marshmallow creme center and a graham cracker buttercream. I think the mint chocolate ones were my favorite. I found most of the cupcake recipes from yourcupofcake.com. The others I found on pinterest (if you don't know what that is then you have a lot more time on your hands, it is addicting). I didn't get pictures of all of them. Silly me because the others looked gorgeous as well.
