For the Love of Cupcakes...

It seems to be my thing now that when I'm having someone over or going to someone's house I make a batch of cupcakes. The delicious vanilla ones from Paris Cutler's Planet Cake book. However, I've been experimenting with different essences for flavoring the icing to mix it up and so far so good have not had a disaster yet!

Last week when visiting my Uncle Pete, Auntie Wen and my 7 cute cousins I took a batch of cupcakes with yellow passionfruit icing and took the opportunity to practice 'drop flowers'.

Yesterday I had my good friend Melinda & her gorgeous daughter Emilia over for a playdate and made a half batch of green cupcakes with lemon flavored icing. (Emilia in particular enjoyed these little yummies)

    These cupcakes look gorgeous, I can never get my icing to look like that! Is it butter cream??

    It is indeed butter cream but with vegetable shortening in place of butter. I have posted the recipe I use in the post titled "Cakes, Cakes & More Cakes"...
