Mighty Morphin Cupcake Action!

Oh, I went there. And I stayed overnight, and ate everything in your fridge.

Not really.

But, I'm officially trying out recipes.

Yea, I made that shizzle. And you know what? It's awesome.

If I wasn't already getting married, you'd probably propose.

Vanilla cupcakes with butter-cream icing, topped with a delicate candy flower. I can't find fondant molds ANYWHERE. T___T I can find cutters, but those are boring. It's for lame fondant cooks. If I have to rob a culinary school, I swear I will. Really, how hard can the be to find? I went to Joanne Fabrics and Celebrations. Maybe I'll try Michaels this weekend.

That said, I bought fondant cutters and roll out fondant, but have done nothing with it yet. It seemed like a waste to put flat shapes on top cupcake frosting.

I cut my recipe in half to make only 12 of these little beauties. They turned out exceedingly well. Not too sweet, but not too plain. I've included the recipe at the end of this post.

Poof was no help at all. I don't know why I keep her around.

Here's the recipe for the Vanilla Cupcakes:

2 Cups Flour

1 1/2 Cups sugar

3 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 cup shortening

1 cup milk (2%)

4 egg whites

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 eggs

1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla


Butter-Cream Icing


1/2 cup shortening

1/2 cup butter, softened

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

4 cups confectioner's sugar

2 tablespoons milk
