This week was our long awaited cupcake decorating week! Last week we baked enough chocolate and vanilla cupcakes for every to have 3 cupcakes to practice their decorating skills on this week. The colourful creations were absolutely incredible!
Here are our cupcake recipes – we needed to keep it pretty simple to maximize our output. You might choose more flavour combinations if you were only baking a few. But these were moist, and very straightforward.

We stuck to a simple buttercream frosting, but created two different consistencies (more icing sugar and less milk for a firmer frosting that really holds its shape, and a little extra milk/cream for a fluffy soft frosting).

We also had lots of fun watching different videos and discovering different techniques. Here’s a few we enjoyed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IdqrJHiTSkk , https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ugnLIffGxE&t=231s
