Vanilla Vanilla Updated!

So I'm done with E orders. It's actually for E engagement of this Indian lady who is my cousin bestfren's fren! :p Anyways, she wanted Vanilla Cupcakes. She liked E idea of offwhite buttercream with red hearts. The minicupcakes are door gifts and E bigger ones are meant to be savour by her family. I tried a new recipe for the vanilla cake and it is SUPER soft and E frosting is butter+cream cheese which is a favourite of mine nowadays. Shall update E recipe if any1 is interested.

Oh ya, I baked banana bread too. It's still in the oven. It smells oh so good! Lets hope it taste good too! But then again, Ovenhaven can't be wrong! :D
