Happy Monday! Today for Cupcake Monday, my lovely friend, Jill from Modern Cupcake is sharing her Peppermint Cream Cheese frosting recipe (as seen in The Party Dress magazine). Before we jump to her recipe, I just want to introduce you to Jill. She is an amazing baker, interior designer and has an incredible eye for style. Lucky for me, we live a few miles apart. Her red velvet cupcakes are beyond delicious. Jill recently started a lifestyle blog filled with all things that inspire her, not just baking and I’m loving it. I think you will, too. Let’s get back to that frosting recipe and then hop over and check out Jill’s blog!

    I’m definitely going to try this icing. There is also a new product by Andes candy with peppermint chunks that would work lovely as well.

  4. Thank you ladies & thank you, Kim!!! xoxo

    I made this, it’s a very good recipe. I didn’t have candies on hand so I used peppermint extract.

    How much frosting is this recipe supposed to make? Enough for 12 cupcakes or what? I couldn’t find where it says…

    Thanks for the recipe.
