I actually made these a few weeks ago, but I've been too busy to post about it. I brought them to school the next day and gave them out to every friend I ran into. And they were a huge hit. Light and sweet and topped with a fluffy vanilla buttercream icing. Mmm.
The following week I had a ton of requests to make them again. Last time I hung out with my bestie she brought them up. "When are you going to make those amazing cupcakes again?!"
They're the perfect girlie cupcakes too, full of sugar, spice, and everything nice. Plus, they're pink. What more do you need?
