What I did on Sunday afternoon...
I'm working on perfecting making cupcakes. I decided to bake some Lemon Blueberry cupcakes, as I had a large container of Blueberries in the refrigerator. Cupcakes came out perfect. Yay!
I decided to try a new recipe for cream cheese icing, which was a flop! I decided to put the cupcakes in a sealed container and start over again tomorrow. Anyone have a Good, Easy frosting for decorating cupcakes or cakes??
I'm looking for an Easy, but stable butter cream recipe.
Sam and I took a Sunday afternoon drive. We drove the back roads over to a new housing addition, where my brother is the building contractor on a custom built home. Beautiful area and a beautiful home. It sure was nice riding down the old country road. I remember when there were very few homes on this road, and seems like there is one every half mile or so. I guess it's not so much of a Country Road any longer.
Next: Football
We watched the Kansas City Chiefs play the Los Angeles Colts.
Next: a visit out to see the grand-dogs.
Well....this was my addition of the Sunday News (on Monday)

* As a side note....I always try to leave a reply to the comments you make on my post. Sometimes I need to answer a question that was asked, and this is the only way I know to do so. Hope you all will go back and read the replies I leave.
Hi Shug, Your cupcake sounds delicious without any icing, I usually use a buttercream icing on mine, i.e. butter, confectionary sugar a little milk, vanilla extract sometimes I add cocoa for chocolate icing.
ReplyDeleteI love soup any kind and any time.
I also enjoy those country rides, your weekend sounds perfect.
Blessings,
Sue
Thank you Sue. I was honestly surprised...I think these were the best lemon blueberry cupcakes I have ever made. If you get time, could you send me the amounts of each ingredient that you use. Happy Fall day.
DeleteI noticed most cream cheese icing recipes call for butter, I have always had trouble with this. So I tried using just cream cheese, always turns out nice. I beat cream cheese, then beat in alternating powdered sugar and either whipping cream or half and half, gradually adding each at high speed with vanilla. I found the cream makes a nicer texture with the cream cheese, and I just add powdered sugar to taste.
