Make holiday memories brighter (and possibly a little messier) with a sweet Cupcaking Kit from local baking powerhouse, Cupcake Royale. Each stylish kit comes packed in a commemorative pine box and includes a box of Vanilla Cake Cupcaking mix, decorative sprinkles and a frosting of your choice (yep, they’ve got peppermint!). Sounds like a wonderful winter break activity for the fam, if ever there was one. Plus, they might even share!

Find it: Pick one up at your neighborhood Cupcake Royale location including Ballard, Madrona, West Seattle, downtown Seattle or Queen Anne or online.
