The cupcakes were a last minute addition. My daughter decided that the grown-up cakes weren’t good enough for the kids and wanted to make her own cupcakes for the under 10 set. So I baked up a batch of cupcakes using the recipe above, gave her a couple cans of frosting, some food coloring and sprinkles and let her get creative. I had planned to make the frosting myself, but I had just made a batch of cream cheese frosting and a batch of malted milk frosting and didn’t feel like starting in on a batch of buttercream.
Excuses, excuses.
