Cupcakes for Baby

The order is for a baby shower for baby Ellie. 50 cupcakes. Twinkie Cupcakes. 

I first scoured ETSY for the cutest toppers. 

I wanted to mix each dozen up with a different topper. 

This is what I found. And I love them!

My recipe for yellow Twinkie cake

1 yellow cake mix 

1 box of instant vanilla pudding

4 eggs

8 ounces sour cream

1/2 cup oil

1/2 cup water

1 tbsp vanilla

Mix all ingredients with cake mix until well blended. 

Fill cupcake liners 

2/3 of the way full. 

Bake at 350 degrees 27 minutes. 

Frosting 

Make a rue

2 cups milk

6 tbsp flour

In a sauce pan over medium heat

Whisking constantly until thick and creamy. Pour into a bowl and allow to cool completely. 

In a large mixing bowl mix 

4 sticks of butter

2 cups granulated sugar 

Mix until fluffy. 5 minutes. 

Add 1 tbsp vanilla. 

Blend 

Add rue

Mix until fluffy and white. 5 minutes 

Place in refrigerator for 15 minutes. Covered. 15 minutes. Only! No longer. 

Now it's ready to pipe on cupcakes. 

These last twelve I embellished with white pearls and pink chocolate discs to mix things up. 

They turned out better than I hoped. 

Love these baby Ellie cupcakes!!
