Happy New Year’s Eve with a nod to the top grossing film of 2012 (and the third highest grossing film of all time).
So, which superhero is your favorite? (And don’t pretend you don’t have a favorite!)
Christmas might be over, but you don’t have to take down your tree until after the New Year, so it’s not too late to indulge in some of these tasty treats! (Or, you could just file away this idea for next year!) Check out The Stir’s recipe. It involves sugar ice cream cones, lots of green frosting, and candies of your choice for the ornaments. Your kids (and you, too!) will love decorating these!
People have been stamping cupcakes on undies for a while now, but these cuties might just take the cake. I really wish I knew someone who was potty training so I could buy these for them! Unfortunately, the potty training boys of the world have footballs on their training pants, but the girls are in luck. Well done, Gerber, well done.
If you are planning a slightly more sophisticated New Years Eve Party these cupcake martinis by Danielle’s Desserts might be just what you are looking for. They are simple yet classy and the gold liners and flowers make them perfect for a NYE table place setting.
I have to admit there have been many New Years Eves in my twenty something years that I have spent watching the ball drop from my couch. Sometimes it is nicer to just sit at home and relax instead of getting all dressed up and staying up late. If you are planning on staying in or throwing a little NYE get together, these ball drop cupcakes by Confessions of a Cookbook Queen are the perfect cupcake! I know they cupcakes and resolutions that go along with the blog post are two years old but they made me laugh so you should definitely read them!

Now that Christmas has past I am ready for 2013! I am excited about all that the New Year can offer and all the cupcakes that are in store! I love this 2013 cupcake wall calendar by GLORIACASTANEDA. The calendar costs only $14.00 and each month’s image is a festive cupcake drawing.
If your house is anything like mine I’m sure your spending today baking and cooking! We already have three types of cookies made and a fourth cookie dough chilling. I have a feeling we wont have time to make cupcakes but if we were going to I would bake these skinny gingerbread cupcakes with sweet cinnamon glaze by The Scrumptious Pumpkin. Gingerbread and cinnamon are two flavors and smells that remind me of Christmas and these cupcakes are supposed to be healthy! What kind of cupcakes does your family bake for the holidays?
Yes, it’s Merry Christmas Eve, but let’s not forget some people are graduating this time of year! (As if those families weren’t already busy enough!) Here are some celebration graduation cupcakes from Sam’s Cake Factory. Congrats to all those holiday scholars out there!
There’s no such thing as too much frosting, especially when Santa is in town! This delightful photo brought to you from lenibvs’s Flickr photostream, the home of many tasty-looking treats!
My sister sent me the link to the Hello Cupcake App video for ornament cupcakes being produced at the factory. It’s a really cute little video with great sounds that kids are sure to love. If you are interested in trying to make your own ornament cupcakes, the technique of the month is shimmering and glimmering which will get you started!
‘Tis the season for … nativity cupcakes of course! I would feel a little bad about eating the baby Jesus, but I wouldn’t mind taking out a wise man for the cause. (Photo courtesy of BWPGroup blog.)
Too pretty to eat, right? These pear and cranberry cupcakes were created by The Baking Pan,where you’ll find complete recipe and instructions. Mmm … just the idea of sweet pears and cranberries alongside the warmth of cloves and nutmeg … gotta go!
Just in case you needed a little break from the holiday cupcakes, here are some pulled teeth cupcakes. These are courtesy of Dentist a Bright Smile, so maybe a little something to cook up for the dentist in your life?
Love,

I just found this cute cupcake kit at Kmart. Will someone please buy it for me? ‘Tis not the season to spend money on myself!
I spotted these candy cane topped cupcakes on Pinterest and instantly loved them! They are perfect for a holiday party and it turns out it’s really easy to shape candy canes! According to Bickiboo Party Supplies you simply place unwrapped, large, candy canes on a parchment paper or silicon lined baking sheet in a 250 degree F oven for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes the war candy canes can be lifted off the tray and formed by hand or cut with scissors to your desired shape.
This made me laugh aloud. Have y’all seen this new commercial for Special K Protein Drinks? Personally, I would have gone with the cupcake, but it’s still a cute commercial!
If you’re looking for a little something to add to a stocking or to dress up your gift packaging, how about one of these cupcake ornaments from Sur La Table. The ornaments come in pink or brown and are $9.06 each. If you have a desserts or sweets themed tree they also have pink, green, and purple macarons, cream puffs, ice cream bars, cannolis, and more!

Do you give calendars as gifts? I think giving a calendar is a great idea, everyone needs one, and they are great for gifts swaps! I, of course, like this Sprinkle in Time 2013 Cupcake Desk Calendar. The calendar is $11.99 on the Mod Cloth website, which as usual has lots of great cupcake items!
I love gifts where the packaging is part of the gift. These DIY cupcake candy jars would make great gifts this holiday season and are fun way to jazz up your packaging! I think I would make toffee bark to put inside these little jars, what would you fill them with? For instructions and more picture visit Club Chica Circle’s website.
