No. 7: Peppermint Swirl

'Tis the season for holiday flavors at Crumbs and I wish I could try them all.  But, I settled on the Peppermint Swirl because I thought it was cute that it looked like a peppermint candy.

This fun cupcake is vanilla & red peppermint marble cake topped with vanilla cream cheese frosting, covered in sanding sugar.

I was impressed that the peppermint flavor was just the right amount to trick me into thinking I was having a peppermint candy without being overwhelming.  I actually enjoyed the vanilla and red marble cake.

While the sanding sugar definitely adds to the presentation, I prefer it without because it gives the frosting a gritty feel that I don't enjoy.  Reminds me of bad, sugary frosting that you find on supermarket cupcakes.

Definitely try for the holidays!
