Decided to make some eggnog this morning,
Why?
Because I literally woke up and was like, hmm, I want some eggnog.
after briefly looking at some eggnog recipies on the interwebz
I started to combine eggs, milk, butter, sugar, vanilla, nutmeg, and cinnamon garnish... at will.

AND NO HEAVY WHIPPING CREAM.

I regret not having that cream in my house to this minute, and the eggnog, was NOT nasty, it just didn't have the body I wanted it to have,
So I started thinking, what can I do with this eggnog lord knows I won't drink...

EGGNOG CUPCAKES!

I went in to that dusty cooking book, and found a simple cake recipie,
substituted eggnog for water, and eggnog for milk

TIS WAS A SUCCESS!

The taste was not overbearing, it was delightful ♥

So then I started thinking... hmmm, frosting, now, I am no pastry artist, I can't even frost a cupcake with out it turning in to a frosting splattered scene in the kitchen

So, I decided to make a cream cheese icing, (half cream cheese frosting, half tradtional icing)

I just started smashing things together, and abusing eggnog and nutmeg,
and several drops of food coloring and powered sugar later...

WAAABAM.

lightly sprinkled with nutmeg.
