Frosted Cranberries
I have been wanting to make Frosted Cranberries for a while, but just now getting around to doing it. They’re so pretty and sparkly – and so festive.
This is the first year I’ve made these, and they’re so DAMN EASY. I’ve had so many ideas for these pretty little things.
The first thing I did was to make frosted cranberry infused vodka.
This vodka gets flavor and sweetness from both the fresh cranberries and the sugar that adorned them. And how easy is that?
My daughter turned 21 a few days ago, so when she gets home for Christmas, I’m making a chocolate roulade cake and it will be adorned with these.
I’m SO excited – I just hope my non-baking ass doesn’t ruin it.
I’m kinda kidding. I mean, I do kinda bake, but I’m definitely not a huge talent in that area. I did bake these French baguettes that were pretty good.
I do have to say that my pretzels aren’t really half bad.
Well, ok, I also made these Cherry Coke Float Cupcakes that were really, really good.
I am in no way, shape or form tooting my own horn. Y’all, I don’t even have a horn.
Ok, that was kinda beyond corny.
Annnnyyyyyy way – back to her cake. Hopefully the baking angels will be on both shoulders tomorrow and it will turn out beautifully, just like my daughter.
If you haven’t already, make these cranberries because everyone will love them and ask where they came from, or how you made them and are they edible, and all those fun fancy questions.
Here’s your printable!
