It has been an busy start to the Fall season for me. This makes three weekends in a row of baking for me. Remember the friend where I made banana cupcakes for her Bridal Shower and chocolate chip cupcakes for her Bachelorette/Birthday party? Well, this time the sweets are to celebrate her baby shower! The theme was based off of some party supplies named Tiny Toes with a mix of purple and pink as she is having a baby girl.
I made a mini topper cake using Dorie's Perfect Party Cake recipe as my friend wanted a plain white cake. This cake was delicious; I love the hint of lemon in it. However, it was very crumbly when I was cutting it up and serving it. I wonder if it was because I used milk instead of buttermilk.
The cupcakes were made of the yellow cake recipe I stumbled across when baking with my niece a few months ago. Don't you just love it when a cake recipe converts to a cupcake recipe flawlessly? Frosting was a vanilla buttercream frosting; the other half was melted chocolate added to the vanilla buttercream frosting. Of course, I had to use my Nielsen-Massey Pure Tahitian Vanilla Extract again. The toppers were pink and purple marshmallow fondant circles imprinted with the letter L for Lea.
Very pretty cake & cupcakes, Jen :)
