I took some time off from baking and posting the last few weeks to do some traveling. Here are a few of the cupcakes from my holiday collection.

Cupcakes and Wine.

The 6th Annual party for the blog "Cupcakes Take The Cake," at Brooklyn Winery. I was invited to be a part of this great evening. The sponsors who supplied cupcakes for the event included CRUMBS, Robicelli's, Magnolia Bakery, Sugar Sweet Sunshine, Tonnie's Minis and Man Bakes Cake...

I chose to set up my cupcakes on a wine barrel. I figured most people would stick to traditional holiday flavors, so I tried to create unique cupcakes for this special event.

Setting up. There were so many to choose from.
