Cupcakes!















Look at the pretty cupcakes! They're for a party tonight.

Chocolate cupcakes with a Kahlua buttercream frosting.

Cupcake recipe from the fabulous Rosie at sweetapolita.com

Kahlua Buttercream Frosting:
1 cup butter
3 cups icing sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla
11/2 tablespoon Kahlua
milk or cream to get desired consistency.

Beat butter until fluffy. Mix in sugar one cup at a time, mixing well after each addition. Mix in vanilla and Kahlua. If not desired consistency add in milk/cream or more icing sugar.

I have never been able to get my frosting to look that pretty before. I discovered I needed to be using a way bigger tip than I was before. Problem solved.

I can't wait to have one later!

    1. One could certainly add more Kahlua if a stronger taste was wanted. I was going for a more subtle taste :)
