We used this Rudolph Mincemeat Cup Cake Recipe last week. This is a great way to use up any left over mincemeat from the Christmas cake or pudding. The mincemeat makes the cupcakes have a more festive taste without being as rich as a whole mince pie or fruit cake – so perfect for children. The twiglets are just decoration though as they don’t taste particularly nice with the cake.
