Baking Cup Cakes on my Baby's Birthday!

Hi there, so last month was my eldest's girl birthday, she turned six! she was very excited about her birthday, the usual deal, her friends get together, the goody bags and lots of running around, and cakes ofcourse!

But this time we did the cakes differently, Eshal said she liked cupcakes rather than cakes, and wouldnt it be fun Mama if you made 50 some cupcakes!

At first hearing 50 cup cakes made me wanna swoon! but then I thought hey why not, I mean not 50 but how about 30 :)

So this is what came about, I doubled my recipe and half of it was chocolate and half vanilla.

For the vanilla cup cakes, I coated them with chocolate spread and put rainbow colored sprinklers

For the chocolate cup cakes I whipped up plain cream can with about 2 tablespoon sugar, then refrigerated it for 2 hours, then I took it out and over whipped it and it got a bit runny! but no worries I dolloped a teaspoon on to each cup cake and then added smarties and sprinklers the affect was so beautiful that everyone ate them before the actual dinner! :)

Yum Yum!

I liked that it was something easy to arrange and my girl loved it, double bonus :)

Easy Cupcake Frosting!

Hi there, today I'm going to share a very quick and easy way to frost cupcakes.

My kids would eat anything with chocolate on it and I bet yours would too, as a matter of fact we all would! Eshal loves to bake with me and cup cakes are her fav, the other day we tried a new recipe.
Turned out pretty good, see

I ran out of cup cake liners, so I just oiled the cups and poured batter into them directly and I loved the way they turned out, the bottoms were just the right brown colour, see

Now here is what I do, I spread this chocolate spread on to the cupcakes

Sprinkle on the colorful or chocolate sprinklers, whichever you have or prefer and tada!

I find this easy and quick, and the kids dig these like crazy!

Making cakes and frosting them does not have to mean a whole day spent in the kitchen with tons of dish washing at the end, all those fancy frostings make me shiver!
I need something thats time saving, easy and which would make my kids go wow our mom's the best!

Enjoy and thanks for visiting!
