Yesterday, I tried out my Babycakes cupcake maker. It took a little bit to get use to especially since they don't tell you how much batter to put in. If you do the 2/3 rule, they come out pretty flat. So I ended up filling them about 15/16 of the way. Just kidding.
I just used a regular yellow cake mix for the cupcake portion, adding some organic cocoa powder halfway through for the rest of the cupcakes.
But to top off the cupcakes, I made a coffee buttercream frosting I found here.
It's a little sweet, so I might not add as much powdered sugar next time. And there will be a next time.
Cool. What do you use to do your frosting? I'm imagining something like a regular decorating tip only larger?
ReplyDeleteShana, I used a closed star piping tip for the mini cupcakes. I bought the tip here at http://www.bakeitpretty.com/best-ever-cupcake-icing-kit/. Bake it Pretty is going through a growing phase right now, so you can't buy it anymore. But I am sure you can get it a local craft store.
