Cupcakes Fit For A Princess

I love all of my clients, but the ones that hold a special place in my heart is the children clients. The way kids face light up when they see their birthday cake is amazing. This one client had her granddaughter turning 3yrs old. The theme was princess and the colors were pink and white. She wanted me to make 3 dozens cupcakes and tie the theme into the cupcakes.


The result where these beautiful pink and white vanilla cupcakes with butter cream icing. The cupcakes with white icing had pink dots added to them and the cupcakes with pink icing had white dots added to them. To add an extra flare I found these candy rings and adorned the top of each cupcake with one. The client, her granddaughter, and the workers at the daycare center where I delivered the cupcakes to, were in awe of them. I was so happy and over joyed. Enjoy.

1 1/2 cups Self Rising Flour

2/3 cups Softened Butter

3/4 cups Superfine Sugar

2 Tbs Vanilla Extract

* Recipe yields a dozen cupcakes. Double or triple recipe depending on how many is needed.



It is important when you are coloring icing to use colored piping gel and not regular food coloring. This is important because regular food coloring will water down the icing and make it become loose, instead of keeping it stiff. Colored piping gel can be found at any arts and crafts store and any cake supply store.
