Candy Cane Mocha Cupcakes

It’s pretty last minute to be making Christmas cupcakes but if you have any leftover candy canes then these will be perfect!
I made my favorite chocolate mocha cupcakes (without the liquor) and vanilla swiss meringue buttercream (no Bailey’s). Add 8 (or more) crushed candy canes when the buttercream is finished or roll the edges in crushed candy canes.
Dr. Oetker sent me these really cute Christmas Cake decorations and I just ran out of time to make a whole cake to use them. I used them to make a little Santa’s Village of cupcakes instead.
They have a lot of baking supplies and decorations out now. They must be super popular, their shelf space at Waitrose (in Canary Wharf) was totally bare a few weeks before Christmas!
The little green sprinkles are actually foil like edible Christmas Tress that I bought at KAF when I was in Vermont.
These look great especially the tree! I didn’t see these Dr Oetker decorations but I do love their stuff and am so pleased the supermarkets stock more baking supplies now.
They look beautiful! What a festive treat!
Sounds delicious! Mocha cupcakes with candy cane!!!
