The Taste of Christmas Gets a Cupcake (Ornament)
I love all things peppermint, so I go a little overboard
with Christmas candy. It also means that
I was excited for Peppermint Swirl, the 2016 release in the Christmas Cupcakes
ornament series from Hallmark.
This entry in the series features a very Christmas color
cupcake. The cupcake liner is green, and
we can see plenty of red peppermint flavored frosting on top of a chocolate
cupcake. There are white shavings on top
of the frosting and green highlights on top of that. Sticking out of the top is a red and white
swirled peppermint piece. Topping it all
off are large flakes of glitter meant to represent powdered sugar.
Like the rest of the series, the decorative parts of the
cupcake are felt while the cupcake liner is plastic. However, that doesn’t mean my mouth isn’t
watering looking at it. And I’m
wondering how this cupcake would taste?
If they used peppermint extract in the frosting with a chocolate
cupcake, that would mean chocolate peppermint flavor, and I would be in heaven
while eating it. Just yum! Obviously, the cupcake does its job looks
wise if I am drooling over it this much.
And while the peppermint Swirl is covered in fabric, it is still stiff
enough that it would collapse after just a few years of use.
Being a cupcake, you have a nice flat base for setting this
ornament out in any Christmas food related display. The 7 in a Christmas tree series marker is
also on the bottom of the piece.
There’s a red string attached to the top so you can hang the
ornament on your tree. You’ll find that
it hangs perfectly straight, which is no real surprise.
I really should have reviewed this ornament back in
December. Now I’m craving some of the December
only peppermint treats I get every year, and I’ve already finished my
stash. Oh well. I guess I will just have to drool over
Peppermint Swirl a bit longer instead.
