Black and white cupcakes


It's been a while since I've blogged, I need to catch up!

I made these cupcakes with my favourite vanilla recipe and used some of the designer icing tubes that seem to be popping up everywhere at the moment. I chose black and white tubes then I decorated with black writing icing, white jimmies, white stars and white sugar balls.

I have to say I'm not keen on icing. I'm so used to cream cheese frosting now that I found the icing to be dry, it hardens very quickly and even the cupcakes underneath seemed to dry out more quickly. I think that cream cheese frosting keeps your cakes nice and soft.

I did however, love icing the cakes and then dipping only the edges in white jimmies. I love that look where the sprinkles are only around the edge. I think I might try it again ;)
