Ornament Cupcakes



Merry Christmas to everyone taking the Bloggyland Tour! Sorry, I didn't post earlier. I've been making ornament cupcakes all morning. These are for our homeschool Christmas party tomorrow. I saw this idea in a magazine a couple months ago so I thought I'd try it. They turned out really cute. They are a little time consuming though!
I sugared the top of the cupcake and put a stripe on it with flattened gum drops. (that's the time consuming part...very sticky!) Then I poked twizzlers into gumdrops to make the hanger. At last, the gumdrops are attached to the cupcake by a pretzel stick.
This Wednesday is my cookie making day so come back to view the dozens of cookies I'll be making that day!

Uh oh, just another pound added along the tour! Understand about the time constraints! Always the busiest around this time of year.
I'm a cookie monster. Enjoyed them thoroughly. May you and your loved ones enjoy a blessed and merry Christmas. Sincerely, Petra :))

Those ornament cookies look fantastic! Can you please send some our way? We need something to warm up the cheery, snowy, wintry days in the north! :) I wish I had people to bake such cookies for!

Thanks for the tour. And thank you for stopping by to see us in Vermont! We hope you'll be back to visit from time to time. :)

Merry Christmas to you and your family!
