Holiday Cupcakes

 With Christmas less than a week away,

the co-workers were like little kids

waiting for Santa and his sleigh.

"When are you making cupcakes?" they all asked

with a lot of chatter.

So we  sprang from our beds,

and whipped up some batter.

 A chocolate cupcake 

with a peppermint buttercream

is what we had planned.

With a peppermint cream cheese filling,

so it was not going to be bland.

The finishing touch:

 a sprinkle of crushed peppermint and

 a small bit of  bark

It was just what was needed to 

give it a spark.

Then the  co-works all exclaimed

as the treats were arranged,

"What a perfect way to end this year

 your holiday cupcakes

have given us good cheer."

Until Next Time-
