It’s almost Christmas, and I’m celebrating with some nut & gluten-free CANDY CANE CUPCAKES! All I did was bake the cupcakes according to the directions, top them with a homemade peppermint buttercream, and decorate them with crushed candy canes! They’re super easy and such a fun treat for the holidays!
