chocolate chip cupcakes with buttercream icing

Hi There!

I got the urge to bake (not unusual 😉 ) the other day, but wasn’t sure what to make. I realized I hadn’t made cupcakes in a while, and thought “Why not?”

I found a recipe for Chocolate Chip Cupcakes, and they were delicious! They had a great texture. Next time, I will probably add a tiny bit more sugar, but that’s just my preference. 🙂

The buttercream recipe I had been using was a little too sweet for me, so I haven’t made buttercream in a while… I found a new Buttercream Recipe, and it is amazing! It’s not too sweet, and has a great consistency. I wanted to go all out with the icing, so I decided to make some bright colors: orange and green! After icing them, my sister said they looked like Cacti! I remembered I had tiny candy flowers, so I added some on top for some extra cactus flair!

I attempted to fill the cupcakes a little with some of the buttercream, but I didn’t make a big enough hole, and so it didn’t really do much, unfortunately. 😦 That’s ok, because I can always try again; there’s always a first for everything! 😉
