Holiday Cupcakes!

Ever since making Barefoot Contessa's Coconut Cupcakes*, my coworkers have been asking when I would bring them in again. So, I decided they'd be a great addition to our annual ugly christmas sweater party/white elephant gift exchange. *note: the almond extract is a no no, unless you're into that sort of thing.

But of course, after doing some Googling of holiday cupcakes, I knew Martha wouldn't let me get away with cupcakes frosted with a spatula. Thus I present to you, how to waste your time and look like a crazy person at work:

All you need are some toothpicks, marshmallows, jimmies (yes, jimmies, not chocolate sprinkles), junior mints, some candy corn, and nothing better to do with your time. Also, please note that the candy corn is in fact a carrot nose, not a tongue sticking out (ahem, you know who you are!).
