Remember, this is a blog about being simple? I use a cake mix for my cupcakes. I've tried making my cupcake batter from scratch but they turn out dry and crumbly. With a cake mix they are moist and DE-licious...and my husband likes them--that's a big plus!!
I bake them for exactly 15 minutes...just until they are not wet on top. I don't even wait until they are lightly brown...then they're not as moist.
For the frosting I used Wilton's Buttercream. It's so light and creamy and buttery...mmmm!
After frosting (which I piped using Wilton's star tip 1M), I placed them in some simple, present, cupcake wrappers I had found at Walmart during their after-Christmas sale. And here....
...is the finished product! Must run now...I'm going to go eat one!
adorable. i'm the worst cupcake maker in the whole country.

i'm THAT bad.
I am NOT a cupcake maker, but I will surely eat them. Looks like you did a great job! Happy Birthday to Jeff.
ReplyDeleteWow, Kari, what a great job! Nothing beats Wilton's Buttercream. I love the way you piped out the frosting - so professional looking. Really cute cupcake wrappers, too. Maybe there's a home-based cupcake business in your future. I'd order some! :)
