Death by Cupcakes Would Be Such a Pleasant Way to Go.

On Monday my Mommy came over, and together we baked and frosted two dozen scratch-made vanilla buttercream cupcakes.

As you all likely know (unless you’ve been hiding under a rock for quite some time), cupcakes are the thing to do nowadays.  They are cooler than regular cake, and more fun because you can decorate each cupcake however you’d like.  The possibilities are endless, and there is very little commitment involved (which is awesome for me, because I have a really hard time making weighty decisions such as what color icing to use, which sprinkles to coordinate with the icing, etc, etc).  

“Mess up” on a cupcake while decorating it?  No problem.  Just eat it and move on.  BAM! It never happened.  

Anyway.  I thought I’d share some pictures from the day’s shenanigans.

We followed the recipe for the vanilla cupcakes and the vanilla buttercream frosting found in this book from Anthropologie, and just added some food coloring to the icing.  It was SO FUN.  I highly recommend you get some girlfriends or family members together for a cupcake bake-athon, and just make a party out of it!

Happy Hump Day!
