Sure…”spring”. There are still snowdrifts up to my head in some places, but hey, I firmly believe that one day it will melt. Until that happens, I’ll have to content myself with a garden of cupcake roses.
These are the vanilla cupcakes from (of course) Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World, and I jazzed up vanilla buttercream icing by adding a package of cherry Kool-Aid to the mix. Fun fact: it’s more tart than you might expect, but I don’t think that’s a bad thing. It keeps the finished product from being too sweet. And instead of my usual outside-in piping, ending in a peak of frosting in the centre, I piped from the inside out, creating a vaguely rose-y look.
It almost makes me forget about the snow…
