If you and your children are away from home on the holidays, like so many young families visiting parents and grandparents, we hope this idea helps you. We are Lucky Little Travelers (www.luckylittletravelers.com) a website dedicated to family travel with children. You and your children can make these cupcakes together before you leave. Pack them in your suitcase in a heavy plastic box, and place them into your checked luggage. I love to make special treats and bring them with us. I hope it helps my children to remember our family traditions during the holidays. Happy Holidays!
My mom used to make these cupcakes for us for desserts and special snacks. This is my mom’s favorite cupcake recipe.
