Happy Holly Days!
Day 2 - Visions of Sugarplums blog hop.
Need a sweet treat for the classroom Christmas party?
These are fun & easy to create.
The cupcakes are topped with a cream cheese frosting,
mini M&M's and Fruit Roll-Ups hand cut in the shape
of holly leaves.
These would also make a nice teacher gift or maybe a sweet gift for your school bus driver.
I re-purposed a Wilton box into a gift box for one special cupcake!
The insert was removed and wrapped with Stampin' Up design paper then slid back inside the plastic case. I ran a Nesties label die through my Cuttlebug then cut a white cardstock scrap to fit. The stamp "Happy Holly Days" is from Joy's Life: Wintery Puns stamp set.
Here's my super easy Cream Cheese Frosting recipe...
Cream Cheese Frosting
4 ounces unsalted butter, softened
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
2 cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 ounces cream cheese, softened

Directions
In a large bowl,beat together the butter and
cream cheese with an electric mixer.
With the mixer on low speed add the
powdered sugar a cup at a time until
smooth and creamy. Lastly, beat in the vanilla extract.
