3/15/2020 0 Comments week two: 2/8/2020-2/14/2020The vanilla cupcakes...After coming off a very successful first week of baking we were super excited to bake for the second week. For the second week of baking we decided we were going to bake vanilla cupcakes with butter cream frosting!! The reason we made these is because we both love some good cupcakes. We believed that they were slightly harder than last weeks peanut butter cookies!
For the recipe we used was from Yellow Bliss Roads website. We were both super excited to try a recipe that neither of us have ever used. The recipe also had close to five-star ratings on the website! The website also had the butter cream frosting recipe so we instantly picked it. For this week we wanted to get together and bake at Mackenzies house! The process was fun and sometimes an absolute mess, but we were just happy to bake together for this exciting dessert! As soon as we got to Mackenzies we began. We first gathered all the ingredients, luckily all the items were just household items that we both had. The only item we had to buy for the cupcakes was unsalted butter! We then began to make the cupcake batter! Once we popped those in the oven we quickly made the butter cream. We ended up doubling the frostings recipe because it was just too yummy!!! Once the cupcakes were finished and cooled we started to ice them with the butter cream. Kimball went first and she showed off some of her pretty superior icing skills. Mackenzie on the other hand was not too good at it. So Mackenzie let Kimball do the icing step. After that we took some pretty artsy pictures and got a few people to rate them. We tried the cupcakes first and we noticed that something was a little off about them. Then we got a few other people to try them and the said something was missing. We went back and looked at the recipe and realized that we forgot to add the salt!! The ratings for this weeks sweet treat were lower than last weeks. This week we only averaged a 2.5 rating. Most people said they liked it for the first few bites but it kept getting worse as they kept eating it. Since most people did not like the cupcakes we bought some pretzels and enjoyed to left over icing to cheer us up a little! We had a set back this week but hope for a comeback next week!!
