CUPCAKES!

Been wanting to bake more and more lately. I made (all from scratch) some Blue Velvet Cupcakes for Dylans birthday party. They were fun to make & really good!  The icing was phenomenal! One batch was enough for all the cupcakes too! I'll post a link to the recipe here.  Getting the color right was hard tho, so if you make them just go slowly with the coloring. The last batch I made looked like tile grout..lol. I used Duff's neon gel coloring (love that guy).This is how mine turned out...

Today I was on the search for amazing vanilla cupcakes with chocolate frosting. I don't really like sweet stuff, but I like woke up thinking about them which is weird. What I found was this recipe. I made the first batch pink & white- they tasted great and domed up perfectly, but they just weren't sweet enough to me and a tad salty. So I changed up some things on the purple batch. I added 1 cup sugar instead of 3/4 and 1/4 tsp of salt instead of 1/2. WONDERFULLLLLL OMG.

Also, in every recipe that calls for vanilla I always use 1/2 tsp more.

Cheated and used premade frosting on these. :)  Taking them to work tomorrow. Hope they enjoy!
