Cupcakes with Eeerah

My good friend Sarah came over this afternoon for a bit of shopping and cupcake making. When my daughter Emily was a toddler, she couldn't pronounce her name and called her Eeerah :). We've called her that ever since! Today we made Super Moist Chocolate Cupcakes with Vanilla Buttecream frosting with chocolate sprinkles. I've made these before, but I piped the frosting differently on these. All we had was a flat rate box to send the cupcakes home with her. :)

When new recipes go bad

I wrote about the Orange Creamsicle Disaster and included a photo of the best of the best of the cupcakes that day. They looked kinda pretty... but they didn't taste pretty. I forgot I had taken this picture... but I thought it was funny seeing a butt load of cupcakes in the trash can. This is what happens when new cupcake recipes go so bad... that even US Army Soldiers won't eat them.
Poor Cupcakes.

Spring Cupcakes, Take 1

Tonight I decided to try decorating some cupcakes for Spring. I've never done it before and am not sure if I'll try it again. I don't know if I like how the flowers look and to be honest... I really prefer the extra large round tip for piping. The cupcake is a vanilla cupcake with buttercream frosting. I'm not a huge fan of vanilla cupcakes, but this recipe was decent. I'd love to hear if anyone else has a better recipe for vanilla cupcakes. :)
