cupcakes

I decided to make some fluffy delicious cakes to share on my daughter's birthday to her friends. This is what I used and came up with. Bear in mind I'm no confectionary guru/expert or cake boss. Still 1 in the making though. Lol. But I do applaud my effort though.

Ingredients 
1)2 cups of flour
2)2teaspoon of vanilla flavor
3)4 eggs
5) a stick of butter
6)11/2 cups of sugar
7)3 teaspoons of baking powder
8)1 cup of milk
9)queens rainbow sprinkles
10)icing sugar

Process

Using my inherited mixer



(ps- this mixer existed before I was born. I was lucky to get it from my mom) I think the brand name is moulinex, I creamed my sugar and butter together for 15 minutes. 
 Then I added the eggs. And mixed some more.
 I added the vanilla flavor and mixed for 3 minutes. 
I served together the flour and baking powder. I gradually added it with the milk intermittently. I removed,placed my cupcake paper into the cupcake tin and baked for 20min. I removed and allowed to cool.

BUTTER ICING
For the icing I beat together my icing sugar and soft butter(half a stick) till smooth. Then I added 2 tablespoons of milk and a tablespoon of food coloring and mixed.
 That's what I used to ice with the help of my pipe and nozzle. 
 After icing I sprinkled my rainbow sprinkles to beautify and also to partially hide my flawed icing.
