I entered the cupcake contest at my school carnival today and I won the Grand Prize!!!! WooHoo!!! Here are some pics of my cupcakes. I used my secret cake recipe and blue raspberry buttercream frosting. (I will post my frosting recipe below)
I love to bake! I learned how to make the best cake ever this summer on accident. I will post a video soon to my youtube channel revealing my secret to the world. Here is a link to my Channel PinkPearlsTV
Buttercream Frosting Recipe:
2 Sticks of butter at room temperature
1 t. Vanilla
4-5 C Powdered sugar (or until frosting is at consistency you want)
2 T. Milk
Beat butter and vanilla together until fluffy. Add powdered sugar 1 cup at a time. Mix until fluffy. Add milk 1 Tablespoon at a time until desired consistency. If you would like to add color or more flavor, add it in at anytime after mixing butter and vanilla together.
I use a plastic zip bag to dispense the icing onto my cupcakes. I re-enforce the corner and bottom of bag with clear packing tape for durability while squeezing the icing out. For a really nice fluffy look, just cut the corner about 1/4- 1/3 of an inch and slowly frost in a circle like an ice cream cone.
If you have icing bags and tips...that is even better!
Thanks for visiting! Leave me a comment or a response video so I can hear and see what you have done! I cant wait to see your creativity.
