THE ADORABLE "CUP CAKE" IS BORN

Originally, “cup cakes” got their name somewhere around the late 19th century because their ingredients began to be measured in cups rather than on a scale. This new method was much simpler, and soon led to the practice of baking small individual cakes in cute little containers — including ramekins and tea cups. (How adorable is that!!!)

Around that time, muffin tins began to appear and bakers soon realized that they could use the pans for more than just muffins. Soon, the cupcake that we know today- was born.

SWEETEN YOUR DAY WITH YOUR VERY OWN-CUPCAKE!-enjoy,aa

SMELL THAT BUTTER CREAM!

OOOOH MY! That irresistable smell of homemade butter cream frosting...it smells simply amazing! Go ahead, I dare you to whip up a batch of it and NOT take a taste. (what is a tiny taste gonna do?) When you take a look at what’s in it you see why it smells and tastes so darn good.

Butter Cream frosting is not only simple to make, but extremely versitile. The main ingredients in butter cream are: the lovely butter and what else?-sugar!

There are some variations of butter cream that have less butter. One will be able to tell by the color of the frosting. For instance, the butter creams that are loaded with butter are a creamy yellow. The butter creams that call for more shortening than butter are usually more white...these types of butter cream frostings hold up much better in the heat. Butter creams can take on just about any color or flavor depending on what you add to it. (almond, vanilla, lemon, cocoa....endless in versitility!)

Here is a simple starter recipe form cooks.com. Go on give it a try, you can smell it already!

BUTTER CREAM FROSTING

1 lb. Domino xxx sugar

1/4 lb. soft butter (1/2 c.)

1/8 tsp salt

1 tsp. vanilla

3-4 tbsp. milk

Cream 1/3 of sugar with butter and salt in large bowl. Blend extract, 2 tablespoons milk and remaining milk into frosting until desired spreading consistency is reached.
