These super gorgeous vanilla cupcakes are what I just made for my friend's baby shower this past weekend. It was fun making these and piping all of the buttercream roses since I haven't done it in so long. The traveling though was something I would've loved to live without; having to drive 5 hours with these babies in my car isn't all that fun to do. At least it wasn't a cake. Can't wait for this baby girl to join us in the world soon. She is going to be so spoiled and loved by everyone she meets.
Change it up!
For these vanilla cupcakes you can really use any type of frosting you want. You could use a tangy cream cheese buttercream or even a dark chocolate buttercream. Really any kind of buttercream will go perfectly with these cupcakes.

Products I recommend
Above are some products that I personally use and recommend for this recipe and to have for everyday use. One of my favorite things that I have many of are the BlueQ oven mitts. They aren't just really funny and a great statement piece for your kitchen, but they are great quality too!
