Buttercream Cupcakes

Cupcakes with buttercream frosting takes me back to my childhood. It was during my birthdays when I had a Goldilocks bought character cake. Remember the super sweet white fluffy frosting, the gold chocolate coins, lollipops, sugar flowers and porcelain made cartoon characters? How 90’s was that?! Okay okay, so its not exactly a memory of a cupcake and certainly not buttercream icing. The “fluffy white frosting” is actually boiled icing. Nevertheless, it is my humble memory of a frosting. There were no pretty cupcakes back then. It wasn’t just the trend.

Today, cupcakes are everywhere! They come in all sorts of flavors, sizes and colors. My multiply account is flooded with business contacts making and decorating cupcakes as well. How can you possibly compete with those? I’m lucky I found my niche in decorating cupcakes with fondant.

But buttercream cupcakes have a different appeal to me. It has a “rustic-pretty” or “vintage-chic” sorta thing charm to it. I love it also because it’s easy to make the frosting, easy to tint, I can go crazy with my piping tips and I could dash colorful sprinkles. Bottomline, I can create pretty cupcakes with less effort!
