My Cupcake(Play)Date.

Me and my friend, Taylor just went to our BFF, Zara's house. We had a cupcake day. Zara just came back from Las Vegas and got me and Taylor a baking spatula from M&M World.(after all, we like to bake) Zara invited both of us over to make cupcakes to test our spatulas. We made chocolate cupcakes with homemade vanilla buttercream frosting (I loved the frosting, so at the end of the story I will include the recipe.) We added food colouring and folded in sprinkles to the white vanilla frosting. Then, we put the frosting into pastry/icing/frosting bags with different frosting tips. The best part was decorating the cupcakes!

Vanilla Buttercream Frosting

I'm not a fan of buttercream frosting. But, this recipe is just buttery and soooo good. It's not to sweet and not to buttery.

1 1/3-1 1/2 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons-1/4 cup milk or half&half
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 cup softened butter
Pinch of fine salt

Blend the sugar and butter on low speed for 30 sec. Add the rest of the ingredients and raise the speed a little bit more and blend for 3-5 min. You can add more sugar by the tablespoon if your frosting is too thin.
