Vanilla cupcakes with honey and cinnamon frosting!

Yum! Made these some time ago!
So I hadn't baked proper cupcakes for some time and I decided that it was high time I did this. So they happened, were delicious and killed the ache for cupcakes!
I baked the vanilla cupcakes (click the link and it will take you to the recipe I posted a long time ago! I still use the same one, it's still my favorite!) and topped them with this delicious honey cinnamon frosting!
You need to try out this recipe, for realz, it's absolutely delicious!

  HONEY CINNAMON FROSTING

Ingredients:

---

(covers 10-12 cupcakes)

• 1 & 1/4 cup powdered (/confectioners/icing) sugar
• 1/2cup (113g)room temperature butter
• 1tbsp honey (yes, that is enough to give it the honey flavor, I know, CRAZY)
• 1/2tsp cinnamon (but that really depends on how much you love cinnamon, I love it dearly, so I think I've put a bit more)

What to do?

---

1. Cream the butter, add sugar (not all at once! Bit by bit!)
2. When about half way through add in the honey and cinnamon. And keep on adding in and mixing the sugar.
3. DECORATE!

And there you have the "finished look"! Me and my best friend went a bit crazy with decorating them hence the rose and fairy dust!
I also dripped a bit of honey on one, just to go with the honey in the cupcake's frosting, as an idea for all of you to decorate!

Hope you enjoyed this "only frosting" recipe & let me know if you make them!

Lots of love,
Annie

Happy Easter!

Hello, hello! I'm sorry, I haven't posted this earlier, but I was so taken with all the preparations I didn't find time to do it. Anyway, I've baked really good chocolate cupcakes with lemon cream cheese frosting for my "school Easter" and as I got so many requests to post a recipe for this frosting, I couldn't say NO. It's kind of problematic, though. I haven't used ANY recipe for this frosting. I just made my own, if you can call simply pouring some things together in a bowl a recipe. Anyways, the problem is, I am not sure how much of e.g. confectioner's sugar did i put in. But about this in a second. YOU WANT IT, YOU GOT IT. 

LEMON CREAM CHEESE FROSTING

Ingredients:

• 1 package of cream cheese (125g) - I used "ostrowia jogurtowa" if you were wondering, 'cause I didn't have Philadelphia at home
• 20-25g of butter at room temperature (sth about that, I just put a little bit)
• juice from half of lemon 
• confectioner's sugar - but how much, that is the question. I don't know, I just poured some, mixed it, poured some more and kept doing that until I got the consistency I liked. I didn't want want it to be too runny, but well, it just kept on being rather runny, so I let it be like that finally, as I COULDN'T WIN. I believe it could've been about 2 cups? I don't know, really, you just have to check if you like it like that.

What to do?

What you do is simply mix in stand or handmixer all those ingredients and try with confectioner's sugar. 

When you're done put it in fridge for about an hour, decorate the cupcakes and put them inside of the frigde again. That's at least how I did it, without putting it in fridge at all, it can just run down your cupcake, which is, I BELIEVE, not good. 

I decorated my cupcakes with orange zest and that's how it looked :)

 

Oh, I've also done one St. Patrick's Day a little bit later :D

Thank you  so much for watching, try this frosting and enjoy them!

I'm going to post some of my Easter bakings later! I hope you're gonna like 'em!

Diet cupcakes part 2?

I've made my diet cupcakes once again! Nothing special, you'd think,but I couldn't resist this time and found a recipe for a LOW-FAT frosting :) Well... I'm not that sure if it's that much different, but in my mind it's saved as a low-fat so I don't have as many regrets after eating the cupcake! Take a look at the pictures

P is for Pixie. She's been my best friend for like 11 years now :) Anyways we were to meet so I thought it would be cool to do maybe just one cupcake especially for her! And those little things on frosting are crushed pieces of biscuits, like it? 'Cause I do like how it looks, i thought it's a nice idea! 

So diet vanilla cupcakes with zucchini + low-fat buttercream vanilla frosting (with baking-margarine instead of butter) + crushed biscuits = NICE DIET CUPCAKE :) If you want any recipe or want more details or anything just let me now. 

I'm waiting for your comments and advices about my blog! 

thanks

P.S. one cupcake is supposed to have like 200 calories? That's.. i think that's less than a normal cupcake which is like 400? 300? not really sure, I'm sorry. But if you want me I can check that out for you!
