Answer 3

Instead of cupcakes in the traditional size, get those tiny baking cups that are more elegant. In each, place some homemade fudge with curls of andes candy on top or better yet, the mint bark from William Sonoma.

For the red to accompany, either circling the serving platter for the desserts or one at each dish, a chocolate dipped strawberry.

Answer 4

Bake chocolate cupcakes and frost with buttercream frosting in a can. Then roll the edges in red or green sugar crystals, just to create a border.

It looks so fancy, and it only takes a minimal effort.

I recommend Duncan Hines Moist Deluxe Butter Recipe Fudge for the cupcakes. It's my favorite.
