HOLIDAY PEPPERMINT CAKE

We loved these! All I could really find to use in place of candy canes were Altoid mints crushed finely in my food processor. It worked well; it made the cupcakes and frosting very minty and refreshing! I used my own homemade buttercream frosting with the peppermint powder folded in.

I had lots of peppermint hard candy so I used those instead of candy canes to make these cupcakes. They were so good! The entire family enjoyed them. Can't wait for the holiday sales. Looks like we'll be buying lots of candy canes this year!
