As promised!

Last night I did a trial run on a cake I want to make for my birthday this weekend (yes I want to bake my own cake, cause why not?). It was just a basic vanilla funfetti cake with a marshmallow buttercream frosting. They are delicious! 

I just made a basic vanilla cake batter and threw in some colorful nonpareils, which melted and made swirls in the cupcakes. I wish I had gotten a picture of one half bit to show you guys, side note: I am bad at the picture part. Usually I am not, I think I was just excited that the frosting tasted so good. One part I was disappointed about was the fact that I accidentally used imitation vanilla extract instead of pure. Nonetheless, the cakes were still amazing.

Here’s a photo of my last batch baking. The recipe said “makes 24 cupcakes”, I somehow banged out 30 normal sized cupcakes (and some were even enormous!)  

I added a little spin to my frosting and used heavy cream instead of milk, and a little more than directed. I am not sure if it made a difference but it was delicious! I feel like the cream and marshmallows made the frosting more fluffy. I made a basic buttercream frosting but then threw about 10 oz of mini marshmallows into a microwave safe bowl and put them in the microwave for about 30 seconds (until the puffed up.) Again, wish I had the picture!!!!! Once I took them out of the microwave, I immediately scooped them into the frosting and mixed until smooth.

Here is the end result, even after frosting all the cupcakes. I thought it was too sweet but I think everything I make is too sweet!!!  Everyone else really enjoyed it. Tyler was eating it by the spoon. 

So that was my trial for my own birthday cake! I may try something else, maybe a chocolate buttercream instead, we will see! Hope you all enjoyed!🎂🍰😊

Ps: Tyler did all my dishes for me. I didn’t even ask, he just did! And there were a ton! That’s the worst part of baking if you ask me lol. I know he reads my blogs cause he is subscribed and supports me so much, so thanks my love 💋💙😊
