During our baking extravaganza this weekend, Sam and I created darling reindeer cupcakes. As always, he enjoyed helping me measure and mix but his favorite part was giving the reindeer their expressions.
We both enjoyed taste testing afterwards. We will definitely be re-creating these reindeer cupcakes soon. They are almost too cute to eat — almost!
