Notes
- Instead of decorating the Christmas cupcakes before serving, set up a decorating table and people can make their very own chocolate figgy puddings. Kids will love it
- Make sure the cupcakes are completely cool before attempting to decorate them
- Chocolate cupcakes: I use chocolate cupcakes but you could use any flavour vanilla cupcakes recipe or dairy-free cupcake recipe. I used a gluten-free boxed cake mix portioned into cupcake liners.
- Candies: I use sweets to create an edible sprig of holly. Jaffas are a New Zealand candy (candy-coated orange chocolate balls), you need a red ball-shaped candy that will act as the berries of the holly. Red cinnamon candy like red hots would also work. Spearmint leaves are leaf-shaped gummy sweets popular in New Zealand.
