Eggnog Spiced Cupcakes

I am not sure if you counting down the days, but I sure am!!! I am talking about Christmas of course ;) I have been waiting so patiently to create some memorable festive Christmas Baked goods...

For this recipe, I used my classic, Beauty Baking Mix... And I was so supervised how amazing it turned about because when I developed this mix I was thinking it was only good for cookies, beauty bombs, brownies, and blondies! 

I had so many ideas what I wanted to try for my first cupcake recipe using my Beaut Baking Mix, however, I had to just pick one ;) So I hope you LOVE Eggnog, oh, and creamy rich spiced chocolate!!!

Eggnog takes me back to my childhood... what is better than a cold glass of thick, creamy, and delicious nog-nog! Haha, sorry, that is what my sister used to call it when we were little girls ;)

Christmas needs those festive flavors, the warming hint on rum, (I used artificial of course), nutmeg, and of course cinnamon. But, Christmas must have the decedent richness of Chocolate, don't you agree.

I was going to make a vanilla spiced buttercream, yet chocolate always seems to scream my name"ANNDDREEEEAA!" haha... or maybe it is just my cravings ;) Whatever it is, it seems to always be my go-to, yes, chocolate is in 80% of my recipes I believe!

I have created 2 videos on buttercream frosting, my first video really breaks down who to create the most perfect, whippy, fluffy, and white buttercream frosting, which I recumbent watching if you want to excite the BEST BUTTERCREAM you will ever try!!!

WATCH HERE!

For my Birthday I made a Chocolate Cake with Chocolate Buttercream frosting...it was to die for!!! This recipe is almost identical do the buttercream frosting I made for these cute little eggnog cupcakes, only there are a few secrets to making this buttercream good to BEAUTIFYING!

I added in a few scoops of my NEW Bakerlita Beautify Sweet Creamer to do just that... This added the extra dose of creaminess that benefits your brain and beauty with the added MCT powder and the collagen protein!

With my Bakerlita's Beautify-Sweet Creamer can make all the beautiful blended goods; like Beauty bulletproof coffees, hot chocolate, smoothies, and homemade ice cream! 

Beautify-Sweet Creamer also works amazingly incorporated into icings, glazes, and frostings like this Chocolate Buttercream frosting.

Each scoop will bless your body with beautifying collagen and MCT oil. Beautify-Sweet Creamer is sweetened with Lakanto (monk-Fruit); so there is no insulin spike what so ever, and is 100% natural sugar-free keto sweetener. Blend into your morning coffee and you will get a Beautifying-BUZZ that will cause glowing smooth skin, strong luscious locks, and nice nails!
