So I started subscribing to the Pink Cake Box Blog.
I love this baby shower cake/cupcake tower!

I want to make her. Talk about darling!

Madelyn's Cake

Reports were this cake was a hit. Unfortunately we couldn't attend the party because of sick kids! It was a white cake with oreo cream filling.
The towers were pretty "precarious" and I didn't put them on until the last minute or these would have all fallen over in transport!
Happy B'day M. We are so glad you loved your cake!

Fit for a princess...

p.s.
If you double the previous recipe it frosts 114 cupcakes!
Just thought you might want to know.
Pictures of tonight's cake coming soon.
It just made my day to see the birthday girl's face light up at the sight of her cake. She was adorable.
Happy Birthday M!

Shiny and Delicious Frosting

Hello friends.

Well, it's been awhile since I've been over here at the cake spot. I've been busy waddling around gestating and laboring and feeding a newborn. And now I'm back. Or at least as "back" as you can be with a 6 week old baby.

I'm making a cake for a friend's birthday party! I'm making a princess cake, and 100 cupcakes. That is a LOT of cupcakes.
So, I'd like to share with you a new frosting recipe that will save you tons of time next time you become temporarily insane and agree to make 100 cupcakes.

Seven Minute Frosting

Place in top of double boiler:

(Don't have a double boiler? Neither do I. Just hold a saucepan over a larger pan of boiling water, but not touching the water.)

2 unbeaten egg whites
1 ½ cups sugar
2 teaspoons light corn syrup
1/3 cup cold water
Dash of salt

Beat for 1 minute at low speed. Cook, beating constantly, till frosting forms stiff peaks, about 7 minutes. Don’t overcook. Remove from heat. Add:

1 teaspoon vanilla (use clear vanilla if you are leaving it white) Add coloring, if desired.

Beat till of spreading consistency, about 2 minutes.

Just dip each cupcake in the icing, and turn right side up to get a nice curly icing top. Wa-lah!
