It has been a long time since I baked or decorated any kind of cake. Lately, however, I have been feeling the urge to start again. Decorating cakes is enjoyable for me, I like to see my efforts being enjoyed by others. I had been preparing for this during the past few months, carefully calculating my purchases in my mind and determining which recipe would be best for a comeback. Well readers, here is the finished product!
The batter is a basic lemon cupcake. I like to add extra vanilla to make it interesting.
The icing is lemon-flavored buttercream icing I made myself.
I started to get fancy, and made one or two with a full rose. Here is one, I gave the other to Little Guy!
For the remainder of the cupcakes, I chose to decorate them with simple rosebuds and leaves. Keep following for my next adventure in cake making and decorating!
ohh such sweet looking cupcakes- want to try one too!

Thank you Susan! I'm not really used to working with homemade buttercream yet, it tends to melt faster than the commercial kind. It does taste better though.
DeleteThese look great!
