Vanilla Cupcakes..

They may be plain, but you just can't go by without having a least one good recipe of plain vanilla cupcakes. If you already have one, well, there's no such thing as too many vanilla cupcakes! Here's my favourite recipe.

Check out my Superman cupcakes! To make these, all you need to do is spoon your icing into a piping bag with a large star nozzle (the thicker the icing the higher and fluffier your cupcake will look) and pipe the icing in circles around in a few circles. If your icing is too thin and you want really thick icing, or you just don't want to make your own icing, i would suggest ordering it from the cake and icing centre down on Samford Road in Mitchelton.
