Like any candle fan (or the candle weirdo as I'm known locally) I have a favourite Christmas fragrance and along with Rituals Scared Fire candle -review link Yankee Christmas Cookie has to be my favourite. My local stockist (I don't always purchase online) was sold out as it is always really popular and as an alternative she recommend Yankee Christmas Cupcake and I have to say I'm not disappointed.
"An irresistible treat rich, moist vanilla cupcake covered with sweet buttery holiday icing."
If I really think about it Yankee Christmas Cupcake smells really similar to Yankee's Christmas Cookie and Snowflake Cookie - they all have the same soft vanilla fragrance that most of us will associate with cupcakes. Yankee Christmas Cupcake is the most buttery offering out of the three and not as sweet as the others, to my nose it smells similar to vanilla butter cream and is a great fragrance to burn all year round as it is not obviously festive. Basically if you like any of the other Yankee cupcake or cookie fragrances I would bet money on you enjoying this one too.
Oddly Yankee Christmas Cupcake is one of the more difficult Christmas scents to track down,
I did however find it on Yankee Direct with prices ranging from £1.44 - £16.49 - link.
However I do want to point out that they have Yankee Christmas Cookie on offer at £14.99 for the large jar (£2 cheaper than the medium jar at the moment) - link.
I love this scent, so sad its retiring!

I'm a fellow yankeette! I have a cupboard full of Yankee stock (thanks to my qvc addiction!) and I currently burning fire side treats. I love Christmas cupcake as I'm a sucker for the soft buttery scent :)

I have to agree with this, as nice as Christmas Cupcake is, it doesn't smell as great as Christmas Cookie does!
