valentine's day Pretzel antlers and a cookie nose: Reindeer cupcakes live on!

Keep the reindeer cupcakes coming...this one is by on Flickr.

valentine's day Pretzel antlers on reindeer cupcakes from blogger Mini Baker

I know Christmas is over, but we will be keeping the Christmas cupcakes coming this week, because there are just so many fun ones, like these reindeer cupcakes by blogger Mini Baker, where you can get instructions on exactly how to make these at home.



Here's the breakdown of what's in them:

-Ears= pieces of Tootsie Rolls
-Red "Rudolph" Nose= Mini Red M&M
-Muzzle= Nilla Wafer
-Eyes= Mini Brown M&Ms
-Antlers= Twist Pretzels
-Fur= Chocolate Buttercream Frosting

Speaking of Mini Baker, how better to promote your food blog than...writing your name across "Ding Dong" filled cupcakes?

valentine's day You know Dasher and Dancer.... Prancer and Vixen....

I had a great time in Colorado this year and hope to return for more cupcakes and mountains.

valentine's day Rudolph cupcake and orange creamsicle cupcake

So the first of these cupcake photos, the Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and twinkling star, is obviously seasonally appropriate. The next two, the orange creamsicle cupcakes, have nothing to do with December and everything to do with me thinking they're beautiful. They're by blogger Kelli's Cakes & Sweet Treats via her Flickr account.

valentine's day Tron cupcakes by B Sweet Catering in Los Angeles!

I will freely admit to you that I hardly know what Tron is; I'm not saying I'm against it, maybe I'd like it, and I'm dimly aware that TRON: Legacy is about to be released.

But even though I'm not sure what "old school" and "new school" mean in relation to Tron, I do love cupcakes, and I'm sure some of you will be intrigued by these cupcakes by Los Angeles custom catering company B Sweet, who also have an extensive sandwich, food and other dessert offerings, along with cupcakes. They're based in downtown LA but deliver all over the Los Angeles area. These photos are all from their Flickr account, with a bonus non-Tron reindeer cupcake photo thrown in, because it was too cute to ignore!


TRON: Legacy cupcakes
