Frosting Friday

Frosting Friday: CUPCAKE edition!

I've found this cute reality show (I love a good reality show....) on TLC called "DC Cupcakes."  It follows these two sisters who have opened their own cupcake shop in Washington, DC called "Georgetown Cupcakes."  They make the cutest cupcakes and it made me want to whip up some of my own!  Plus, I really wish I had a bakery and a reality show too!

Here are my cupcakes, this is an adapted recipe from another cake recipe that I've posted about before.  This recipe makes the most moist cake ever!

I found a good recipe on another baking blog for butter creme icing and frosted them with that yummy concoction. 

You can always add sprinkles for a little jazz, I always say they are the glitter of food!  And who doesn't like glitter?!
