Jolly Holly

Ingredients

Preparation

  1. A trio of sour-cherry candies and two sugar-frosted gummy spearmint leaves (see Sources, page 342) nestled in creamy white buttercream imitate a sprig of holly in the snow. Using an offset spatula, spread a smooth layer of buttercream over cupcakes. Press three candy sour cherries and two gummy leaves onto each cupcake, as shown. If the leaves are too thick, slice them in half.
