Bridal Shower Cupcakes






My friend, Allison, asked me to help her with some mini cupcakes that she agreed to do for her stepsister's bridal shower. I tried a new vanilla cake recipe, which went really well, and we iced them with my basic buttercream. We colored the icing to match the colors of the shower and piped the icing on with a few different star tips. I added a sugar pearl to the top of the icing and it was a very cute extra level of detail. Overall, the cupcakes were simple - light and tasty - and very cute!

I love those teeny little cups! Where did you get them & how does it affect your baking time?

This looks like so much FUN!

thanks!

i get them at michaels - technically they're "nut cups" but they work great for baking minis

it depends on your oven and the type of cake but it takes about half of the time as normal
