Perfect Vanilla Cupcakes from Glorious Treats

So we had a special 2nd birthday party to go to on the weekend, and I was asked if I could make some cupcakes. Being the perfectionist I am, and not into making cake from a packet (and I don't judge anyone who does- I just like to make food from scratch when I can), I hopped on the internet to look for the perfect vanilla cupcake...and found it pretty much straight away! Thanks to Glory at Glorious Treats.

On Friday night, I stopped into the supermarket on my way home from work, gathered all my ingredients, drove home, popped on my cutest apron and got to work.




The only problem I had with this recipe was that is said to fill the cupcake patties 2/3 of the way up, which lead to overflowing cupcakes *sad face* . Although they tasted delicious, they weren’t 100% perfect (being anal, again!!), but I still had time to make another batch, which I filled half way up, and they came out PERFECT!! Yay!!


I then made the cream cheese/butter cream icing and dyed it pink. They turned out so pretty! My lovely friend Tracy-Lee, who is the baking queen in our group of ladies said- “oh my, these really do taste as good as they look!”.  Needless to say, I was a little pleased with myself.






The recipe for these little heavenly morsels is here and the icing here. I am so glad I found Glory’s blog! I’m looking forward to trying more of her recipes.

Sugary kisses,
