Daniel helped me make his cupcakes this year. He loved following the steps of the recipe, and helping me with the blender. Thanks to my mother in law's piping bag, I didn't have to use parchment triangles this year! It is SO much easier with a piping bag. The cupcakes are chocolate with peanut butter, and raspberry icing. Here are the recipes:
3/4 cup soft butter4 1/2 cups icing sugar
3 tsp milk or water (I use water)
2 tsp vanilla
Beat butter until soft, add icing sugar slowly. Beat in liquid 1 tsp at a time. Split in half.
Add 3 tbsp peanut butter to one half and mix well. You may need to thin out with a little water.
Add 2 tbsp rasperry jam/jelly to the other half and beat. You may need to thicken up with more icing sugar.
The best part of it all, for my numbers-obsessed little guy was finding these (free and printable!) cupcake flags at Fog and Thistle.
