Vanilla Bean Cupcakes-
*Here is a link to the website I found it from:)
Ingredients-
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) butter, softened to room temperture
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 large egg yolk
2 teaspoons of Vanilla Bean Paste(If you do not have the paste you can use 2tsps of Vanilla Extract)
1/2 cup buttermilk
2 cups of fruity pebbles
Step1:
In a large bowl mix the first 4 ingredients together. If you use a whisk it will ensure that all of the ingredients get evenly distributed!
Step2:
In your mixer blend together the butter and sugar, make sure to have the mixer on high and mix it for about 5 minutes. One at a time mix in the eggs, egg yolk and vanilla.
Step3:
Alternating from the dry to the wet add into the butter mixture some of the dry then some of the wet and so on until it is all mixed. Fold in 2 cups of fruity pebbles.
Step 4:
Bake these cupcakes at 340 degrees for about 18-23 minutes. I find that when I bake cupcakes at 340 degrees it helps the cupcake to bake higher and more evenly.
Vanilla Frosting:
Here is where I found this Vanilla frosting
Ingredients:
3 cups confectioners' sugar
1 cup butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 to 2 tablespoons whipping cream
Step1:
In a mixer mix the sugar and butter until smooth. Next add the vanilla and whipping cream.
Step2:
Pipe the frosting on the cupcake and top it off with fruity pebbles!
Yummmm! So i'm not sure if all of you have heard about this delicious Starbucks drink but it goes by the name of a Cotton Candy Frappuccino. It is not actually cotton candy but it is a vanilla bean frap. with 2 pumps of raspberry! It is not on there menu but it is on their secret menu; so when you order it do not call it a cotton candy frap because they most likely will have no idea what your talking about! This cupcake is a vanilla bean cupcake with a vanilla raspberry frosting! You can easily make the cake raspberry by adding the raspberry puree to the cake rather then to the frosting but I thought that the raspberry flavor would come out better through the frosting! I hope you enjoy:)

Vanilla Raspberry Frosting:
Here is where I found this Vanilla frosting
Ingredients:
3 cups confectioners' sugar
1 cup butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 to 2 tablespoons whipping cream
Fresh raspberries(the amount depends on your taste palette. I used a little less then one container)
Step1:
In a mixer mix the sugar and butter until smooth. Next add the vanilla and whipping cream.
Step2:
In a food proccesor or small chopper blend the raspberries until they are smooth and liquid like.
Step3:
Place the raspberries into a strainer and place the strainer on top of a bowl. Using a spoon, start to push down on the mixture so that the juice can separate through.
Step4:
Once you have your raspberry puree you can add this to the vanilla frosting. I used a 2D tip to pipe the swirl and placed a green paper straw in to make it look drinkable!
Hello everyone! It has been so hot where I live lately which makes baking not so enjoyable, so today I decided to make something a little different; a cupcake milkshake! Yummmmmy!
If you want video instructions click here:)
Ingredients:
**Note this is for one serving so it is not very big so feel free to double or even tripple this recipe;)
1/4 Cup of whole milk- whole milk will make the milkshake thicker
1/2 Cup of ice cream of your choice- I used Cotton Candy and Vanilla
1 Tbsp of cream cheese *for red velvet
3 mini cupcakes- I used red velvet and vanilla
Optional:
Starbucks frappuccino glass
Sprinkles
Frosting
Paper Straws
Directions:
Red Velvet milkshake-
Blend together the milk, vanilla ice cream, red velvet cupcakes and cream cheese until smooth.
Cotton Candy milkshake-
Blend together the milk, cotton candy ice cream and vanilla cupcakes until smooth.
If you want the shake to be thicker simply add more ice cream!
Now for the bottles! Dip the rim of the bottles into the frosting then dip it into the sprinkles! Once you've done this you can add in the milkshake and place a straw in and ENJOY!
