Read a little more about some of the December holiday cupcakes:

Strawberry Champagne – nothing says party like popping open the bubbly! Cupcake Royale has spiked this vanilla cupcake with Champagne topped with Skagit Valley strawberry buttercream and golden sprinkles. It will be a Happy New Year indeed if these babies are a part of your party! (Available Dec. 26th – 31st only)

Gingerbread – everything you love about gingerbread – the delicious smell of molasses, ginger, spice, and chocolate blended together into a sublime cupcake and topped with classic Cupcake Royale cream cheese frosting and adorned with a homemade gingerbread man. Kids and adults alike go gaga for them.

Eggnog – a holiday favorite beloved by all. It starts with a favorite local eggnog and is then whipped into a magical buttercream with just the right amount of nutmeg and a swirl atop of vanilla buttercake. We say add your own brandy.

Peppermint Bark – this chocolate, mint and candy cane creation features a decadent homemade peppermint bark chunk atop a fresh peppermint vanilla frosting on a signature Cupcake Royale cupcake. Need we say more?

Boozy Rumball – the cupcake that takes the edge off.

Step 1: Add a generous pour of Meyer’s Dark Rum into our chocolate frosting.
