Santa’s Brandy and Chocolate Spiced Cupcakes

These are some Christmassy cupcakes perfect to be left out for Santa on Christmas Eve. They are chocolate and christmas pudding spiced cakes topped with brandy buttercream and a dark chocolate star.

The cake itself, with a couple of minutes less in the oven, was a perfect consistency and fabulously spiced taste. The hint of brandy in the buttercream gives a festive warming to an already delicious cake.
