They are very simple to make and were moist and delicious. I got the recipe from the Recipe Girl blog (follow the link for the recipe). I had never thought about making cupcakes for a wedding, but people left all sorts of comments about how this white cake recipe worked perfectly. After making the cupcakes, I see why--so easy! It is also a "cheating" recipe--you start with a white cake mix and then add stuff. In addition to the Recipe Girl recipe, I added 1/2 a tsp of almond extract and might add 1/2 of orange extract as well if I make it again just for a bit more flavor--but, as I said, they were already delicious. It took me about 11 minutes to cook them in mini-cupcake tins.
I used my standard buttercream recipe to top these cupcakes, Wilton's recipe with a pinch of salt added. See here for a previous post with the recipe.
I love the frosting design you have made here. I think I might be total flop at doing this on a full sized cupcake but I bet I could do it on a mini cupcake! Thanks for the inspiration!
