I have been so inspired to make cupcakes the past few weeks. Â I love the freedom and creativity to make different flavours, colours and tastes. Â These mini cupcakes are perfect for any occasion but dressed up with green roses they are the perfect dessert for a St. Patrick’s Day gathering.
- Vanilla Cupcakes:
- 2 cups cake flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ cup butter softened
- ½ cup milk
- 2 eggs
- 1.5 tsp vanilla
-
Preheat oven to 350F
-
In a large bowl mix together flour, sugar and baking powder. Set aside.
-
In a stand mixer whip butter until softened.
-
Add milk, eggs and vanilla and beat until smooth.
-
Add flour mixture to wet mixture and mix just until fully combined.
-
Spoon into mini cupcake liners and bake at for 5 mins checking often because they cook quickly.
For the icing, I used my Mint Chocolate Chip Buttercream Icing leaving out the Chocolate Chips to create a simple Mint Buttercream Icing – perfect for St. Patrick’s Day!

Nice piping job, I can never get it to look this nice. I guess it just takes practice.
