Lessons in Baking: Vanilla Cupcakes

I decided to bake the cupcakes for Sophie's birthday (and also decided cupcakes would be more manageable for all involved rather than a full cake) and I kinda remembered last minute and was trying so hard to find one of those super low-sugar and low calorie recipes that uses like applesauce instead of flour and sugar or something but I wasn't sure how to search for those and nothing was coming up, so in the end, even though the recipe I found was called "Healthy Cupcakes for Toddlers" and as I was making it I was thinking huh? What a misnomer - didn't notice anything different, still normal amounts of butter, sugar and flour. Oh well.


I did homemake half the frosting again (using the Top Shelf Rolls recipe) which turned out great. I will say that the order of events for the cupcakes and instructions did make them turn out lighter and fluffier, so that was nice!
