Eggnog Cupcakes for JD's 4th Birthday Today

Tuesday, November 29, 2011


Happy Birthday JD!  I love this photo of JD that my daughter Jen took and used on her evite invitation for his birthday party.  I wanted to share it with everybody along with a few pictures of the eggnog cupcakes I made for JD's Pre K class.  These eggnog cupcakes are probably more of a muffin than a cupcake but the eggnog glaze makes them sweet and perfect for a birthday boy who loves eggnog.  I found the recipe for my cupcakes on Twitter, there are more good recipes passing through always attracting my attention.  I bookmarked the recipe from two peas & their pod as I knew immediately that I would be making these for JD.  Please find the link to the recipe below.


Happy Birthday JD!



Here is the link to the recipe for eggnog cupcakes at two peas & their pod where you'll find excellent step by step instructions to make mini size cupcakes.  I stretched the recipe to make 15 on the smaller side average cupcakes for the number of children in JD's class.  I also double dipped the cupcake tops into the bowl of glaze.

He's so adorable in that pic, Patty!! Happy birthday JD! I think it's fascinating to observe when kids know what they actually want :D The eggnog glaze sounds really good, tho. Great pick, JD!

Happy Birthday JD! Love the first photo, so cute and funny...such a little character. Love the spiked hair and the funny grin!

So nice of your Patty, to make the yummy cupcakes for his class to share, as well! You and I have so much joy with our grandchildren, that we can relate on these familiar fun things to do for them!

I tried posting earlier from my cell phone but it wouldn't go through for some reason. Your little guy is adorable and such a character. I love that first photo. You should enter it in some sort of contest.

The cupcakes sound great and look marvelous and based upon your little guy it looks like he's a very proud birthday boy for bringing these cupcakes. I hope he had a wonderful birthday!

Thanks for sharing.

Oh, how precious he is, Patty! I just love that first photo - such a great choice for his BD evite. :) I am with JD - as soon as it is available in the grocery store, I have to buy some eggnog so I can have a little bit in my coffee every morning, so I know I would love these eggnog muffin/cupcakes. Happy Belated Birthday to JD!
