Tiny Whiskey-Glazed Eggnog Cakes

With the holidays fast approaching, we like to occasionally post some of Cynthia’s favorite recipes for this time of year.  Today, we highlight some Tiny Whiskey-Glazed Eggnog Cakes!  Originally adapted from an old family recipe, these whiskey-spiked bite-sized cakes are both festive and hard to resist, a perfect addition to a holiday buffet.  Well wrapped, they’ll keep in the freezer for about three weeks, so they’re a great treat to make ahead of time and freeze before glazing.

After defrosting, prick a few holes in the top of each cake with a toothpick, glaze, and serve!  Cynthia usually tops each with a fun holiday themed candy, because who says you can’t gild the lily?!

Now Christmas is come,
Let us beat up the drum,
And call all our neighbours together;
And when they appear
Let us make them such cheer
As will keep out the wind and the weather
- Washington Irving
