NORTH POLE CUPCAKES

The plus about having a baby right before Christmas is that it left a self-procrastinator like myself no other option but to get everything ready for Christmas beforehand. So now I’m able to relax and worry just about taking care of my baby.

Don’t get the wrong picture; I’m definitely not sitting on the couch eating bon bons. I feel like I’m wondering around like a zombie with no sleep and showering is definitely optional these days, but at least the frantic shopping days are behind me.

I fell in love with these cupcakes when I spotted them on Pinterest. Although, there aren’t any real instructions, they were inspired from Jenny’s Cookies and are fairly self-explanatory. I made these with my son and his preschool friends. They are simple and magical!
