Vanilla rose

There couldn't be a better way to cheer ourselves up than with a butter cream frosted cupcake.

I had this great idea to make rose butter cream frosting for the vanilla bean cupcake but ..... it tasted odd... there was a foreign object floating in the rose water bottle ...ewe! We settled on vanilla vanilla cupcakes instead (with a hint of rose colouring + Lily sprinkles).

Move over yoghurt shops!! I think I might get this book and I am totally hooked on this blog.... and this is what I would love my next cupcake to look like... (see lemon drop) I love the soft serve icecream look, how do they get the butter cream so velvety?... I am slightly (only very slightly) worried about all the butter and sugar... so I would like to find some tiny minature cupcake pattypans... that should solve the guilt factor. Someone should open a cupcake shop here in Adelaide so that I don't have to bake an entire batch...

Have a lovely Sunday afternoon.

Yum, they look delicious! I do similar swirls of frosting on my cupcakes. I too am addicted to Chockylit's blog - she has some wonderful creations! I giggled at your comment about wanting a cupcake shop to open in Adelaide - I live in Adelaide and run my own business Bliss Cupcakes. I used to sell them at the Adelaide Showground Farmers Market but now operate from a kitchen making gourmet cupcakes for birthdays, weddings and many types of functions. I don't have a shop yet, but hopefully will soon!
