These look good and new for a change and kids love to decorate them so areal hit but wouldn’t make all the time as I don’t want to give to the kids as trying to think of the sweetness.

Decorating cupcakes is always a fun thing to do on the Christmas holidays, or on any holidays. My DD loves decorating cupcakes anytime.
