Ia! Ia! Merry Cthulhu-mas!
Holidays were in abundance at the Eldritch Lodge this year at CONtingency! With boughs sparkling, music driving the gamer's crazy and Matt pouring drinks it was only fitting for us to serve up a holiday dinner to go along with our Xmas themed shenanigans!
Below you will find the Deserts served at the Cthulhu-mas and Thanksgiving dinner games.

We used a cookbook for our Fruitcake and Anniversary Cake. We tweaked the Fruit Cake by feeding the cake cherry brandy for three days before turning it out. For that reason I will not be posting the recipe's, you can get them from World of Warcraft: The Official Cookbook by purchasing the book from Blizzard or Amazon!

Holiday Cupcakes / Violet Cupcakes
The base of my cakes use my Basic Cupcake and icing Recipe.-----
Violet Cupcakes
When mixing the Vanilla Cupcakes add in a few drops (or to taste) of Violet Flavouring. This can either come out too strong or too weak, I found if I could smell it across the room, it was good enough.After the cupcakes come out of the oven, gently spread violet jam across the top. The cupcakes will still be warm and that is ideal, it allows the jam to melt slightly then cool across the cupcakes before you ice them. Ideally in the future I will be adding edible dried violet's as a topper to the cupcake. At the convention I added in a light edible shimmer glitter.
The icing was a standard buttercream with a couple drops of violet flavouring. Adding in a subtle purple food colouring to bring it to a lilac shade would also suit the violet cupcake decoration.

Holiday Cupcakes
For the holidays I will add in a teaspoon of cinnamon and nutmeg to my batters. At CONtingency they were a plain vanilla with standard buttercream
I added a swirl of holiday sprinkles and some red and green edible glitter to the frosting to make them pop. The case were holiday cupcake wrappers.
Enjoy!
