Cupcakes!

I've been feeling rather domestic lately. HA!  I made cupcakes with my nephew the other day.

Vanilla Cupcakes
(so not exciting, but delicious)

½ cup unsalted butter, softened

2/3 cup sugar
3 large eggs
2 tsp. vanilla extract (I kind of free pour because I love vanilla)
1 ½ cups all purpose flour
1 ½ tsp. baking powder
¼ tsp. salt
¼ cup milk

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and lightly butter or line 12 muffin cups with paper liners.

Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the vanilla extract.

In a separate bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

With the mixer on low speed, alternately add the flour mixture and milk, in three additions, beginning and ending with the flour. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.

Evenly fill the muffin cups with the batter and bake for about 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into a cupcake comes out clean. Remove from oven and place on a wire rack to cool. Once the cupcakes have completely cooled, frost.

Aiden & I frosted.  I let him  go to town with it.  I tried to write with it, but I'm frosting-dellusional.

This is our attempt at writing names, making flowers, and clearly making a ton of squiggly lines!  We're so far from professionals!! Haha

We made one for boyfriend.   ... and Teej.


... and obviously Aiden got his own, as did T-Bone, which looks more like J-Bone, but whatever


 Jaspy & Dizzle got some too.
