I made these vanilla cupcakes for my son’s teacher’s birthday, and the kids, and parents went crazzzy! These cute little cupcakes were a total hit, even though I had to hit the brakes and half of the cupcakes flew across my car. Major crisis here, so if you have to transport these cupcakes, make sure they are secured tightly and out of the sun! The cupcake frosting will melt in the sun so these two factors are extremely important, when transporting. Nevertheless, the kids didn’t care if the cupcakes looked a little funny…they still tasted great! HA! These cupcakes are absolutely delicious, and are really fun to make. So much everyone wanted seconds, so make sure you make extra cupcakes!
