I know it&#8217;s been a while since I did a recipe post but I promise there will be many more coming up over Christmas.\u00a0I found this festive\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.bakingmad.com\/recipes\/cupcake-recipe\">recipe for cupcakes<\/a>\u00a0on the Baking Mad website. The cupcakes are very easy to make and as with any recipe, you can change any ingredients you don&#8217;t like. The photos show the order in which you pop all the ingredients into the bowl and the\u00a0recipe\u00a0can be found at the end of this post.<\/p>\n<p>I actually plan on making these cupcakes again. Next time I wont be using cocoa but will be adding extra winter spices.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/daisyhatami\/8278950042\/\" title=\"IMG_6255 by daisyhatami, on
