Cupcakes #1

What makes a cupcake so wonderful??
It could be its looks! It has to be nicely iced with pretty decorations. My favourite cupcake is a vanilla one with butter icing.

You can tell the difference between a bought cupcake and a homemade cupcake....ok ok except for Woolies cupcakes. Now for all of you out there do yourself a favour (actually maybe not) BUT try the Woolworthes new Banoffe cupcakes.............HEAVEN IN A MOUTHFUL!!

For me cupcakes are fun - I love icing them and making them all pretty.
Recently I made vanilla cupcakes with blue butter icing for my Fiance for his birthday and I loved baking them! Below is the recipe i used. I iced them with butter icing.
