Fairy Cakes!

Fairy cakes are just what people from the UK call cupcakes! They are the same thing, but they just have a cooler name. I centered this cupcake around the UK. Honestly, I want to live there. I've never been there, but I think that it would be awesome! Anyway, these fairy cakes have Queen Victoria’s sponge cake. It was her favorite kind of cake, so they named it after her. Isn’t that nice? Supposedly, England/UK is known for its strawberries. I never knew that, did you? Because of that, I made strawberry crème filling, butter cream icing, and put a slice of a strawberry on top of every fairy cake.

Pip, pip, cheerio! :)

Snickerdoodle Cupcakes!

A cookie and a cupcake? WHAT? Yes, it is true. This is a snickerdoodle cupcake. AMAZING, right? RIGHT. It's a yellow cupcake with cinnamon butter cream icing and crushed, homemade snickerdoodle on top! It was really good! So moist and sweet but not too sweet. The perfect combination!


What have you missed?

Since the last time I blogged, I made two more cupcakes. Unfortunately, I failed to take pictures before they were all eaten... Well, I made rainbow cupcakes and s'mores cupcakes!


The rainbow cupcakes were white cupcakes with rainbow-colored layers (thanks to food colouring!) with vanilla butter cream and jimmies on top! They were AH-DOR-ABLE!


The s'mores cupcakes I made were devil's food cupcakes with crushed graham cracker and melted chocolate at the bottom. On top was a marshmallow icing, more like a ganache, with a piece of a chocolate bar on top! YUM!


I'll try to make more, but I've been busy! Thanks!
