These light, melt-in-your-mouth cookies are bite-sized and dainty but the almond flavor packs a punch. When I was a kid, my mom made these every Christmas in the shape of Christmas trees, decorated with red and green sprinkles.

For my son’s 2nd birthday I made a tower of Sesame Street cupcakes topped with an Elmo cake. Decorated with frosting in bright primary colors the characters were easily identifiable and the kids loved being able to pick out their favorite character.

I recently had the opportunity to create a cupcake display for the 20th Annual Festival of Trees gala event in Port Angeles, Washington, a fundraiser benefiting Olympic Medical Center. The theme of the event was Let it Snow! Decorating over 400 cupcakes (both minis and regular-sized cupcakes) to match the theme was the perfect way to get into the holiday spirit.

These little pastry muffins filled with applesauce are like a cross between apple pie and apple cake. They are perfect for a sweet breakfast or an afternoon snack. I like to serve them warm, fresh from the oven.

Kids will love making this cake. It is quick, easy and results in a moist chocolate cake. I like to ice the cake with vanilla buttercream frosting but you can decorate your cake as desired.
