Cranberry Bliss Cupcakes: A Festive Delight
Preview for Our Cranberry Bliss Cupcakes
While Christmas cookies often steal the holiday spotlight, I think it’s cupcakes’ time to shine—literally. Inspired by the popular Starbucks treat, these cranberry bliss cupcakes feature a tender vanilla cake with orange zest, tart cranberries, and a rich white chocolate cream cheese frosting. Want to add a little holiday cheer? Garnish with a few homemade sugared cranberries (they’re easy to make; I promise). One bite of these fun and festive cupcakes, and you’ll see why the combination of orange, cranberry, and white chocolate is a holiday classic.
Top Tip
If your kitchen is warm and the frosting seems too soft, pop it back in the fridge for 15 minutes to firm up. The cranberries are the real showstoppers here, so to give them extra sparkle, use superfine (caster) sugar.
Storage
Although best when fresh, the cupcakes can be made 1 day ahead and stored in an airtight container. Just make sure to frost and decorate before serving. You can also make the sugared cranberries 3 days ahead so they’ll be ready for you any time.
If you make these cupcakes, I’d love to know how it went in the comments below!
