Classique'

[Back to work it is]

So started with a new team and working on some C-h-i-p-m-u-n-k-s, but what better way to end a great week with a sugar induced seizure?...kidding....
Since palettes may vary, I'm easing everyone in with a classic vanilla cupcakes with a few blueberry flavored ones to mix it up.

Started with some pre-molded muffin cups...thought they'd nice with the bigger cupcakes. Also the recipe calls for self rising cake flour....this will do
Pure Cupcakes
by Sweet Revenge Bakery

Makes 24 cupcakes

• 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
• 2 cups sugar
• 5 extra-large eggs
• 3 cups self-rising cake flour
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 3 tablespoons Mexican vanilla
  

[Note: I didn't obviously have Mexican vanilla so regular will do.]

As for the blueberry cupcakes I added these HUGE blueberries to them!

-So you want to beat the butter till its nice and fluffy

-Next and in the sugar till well incorprated and the butter lightens in color.

-add all the eggs, yes all 5 of them, one by one please...make sure each is incorporated before adding the next.

-now alternate adding in the buttermilk with the flour....but make sure you end with flour

- then add the vanilla last....smell it...and take it all in....there you go

-I divided the batter into two different mixing bowls and just added my awesome blueberries into one batch. half and half you see ; )

Classic Pure Vanilla

Blueberry Awesomeness

A better up close shot

For the frosting I used a basic buttercream recipe: for the blueberry frosting I puree'd a cup of blueberries and added them in. More sugar will be needed for the same consistency.

Packaged and ready to go....Enjoy!
