My sweet friend Renee's son is turning 7 today! She has asked me to make cupcakes for his birthday party tomorrow. I was excited she asked me because I LOVE to bake. I feel adventurous and free since I'm not a pro so I don't feel pressure. :) Although, I am an overachiever and a perfectionist so my mind has been wandering all week about the fancy cupcakes I could make. I decided to make it sweet but simple since this is my first "baking gig." :)
I went with this design------>
They have purple letters and yellow icing since he is a die hard LSU fan (even at the age of 7!) They start young these days. The icing for the letters is a swiss meringue butttercream frosting. It's as delicious as it sounds. Want to know why? 4 sticks of butter.
The cupcake recipe I decided to use looks divine and I can't wait to try it. Dylan requested vanilla on vanilla but I thought I could spice it up for the adults so I'm adding buttermilk in the batter with a cream cheese frosting. Recipe found
here.
This is why I run people. So I can eat anything dealing with butter and cream.
I can't wait to show you all the finished product tomorrow!
Happy Saturday!
Nicole
