Vanilla Cupcakes
The other day D mentioned that he’s bored of Chocolate cakes and would like to get something new. It was just what I wanted to hear.. 🙂 I made up my mind to make the Simple Vanilla Cupcakes. I was not too confident that he will like it. Well .. there was a solution to woo him. Presentation…This was my chance to try Rainbow effect on Buttercream Frosting which I had been dying to do. I followed Joy of Baking recipe and decided to give a twist to the icing presentation.
To tell you the truth, I wasn’t expecting J to be excited about it. But was thrilled to see both my boys not only admiring the icing but also gobbling up the cup cakes. I put a piece of chocolate inside the batter and this is what it looked like 🙂
