Peppermint Cupcakes

I had leftover candy canes from Xmas (this was back in January), and thought they would be a cute garnish for a cupcake.

These are chocolate cupcakes that I baked with mint chocolate pieces in the middle.  The frosting is spiked with Rumplemintz, I have a thing for liqueur flavored frosting, that gave it a nice minty flavor and just the tiniest drop of red food coloring. And topped of course with crushed candy canes.
