Growing up I loved baking with my mom and still do. Looking back though, we never made anything from scratch, everything was out of a box. So over the weekend I decided to bake vanilla cupcakes from scratch. However, this was not the case with the chocolate frosting. I shared this with friends/family just to get the same reaction: "What!? frosting is the easiest part! here let me give you a recipe..." Who knew people were so passionate about their cupcakes. Needless to say I was worried my cake batter would not turn out to my liking, so I admit I bought the store bought frosting just in case I had to mask the taste of the cake.
Neil found this super easy recipe on-line at

Ingredients:
A good excuse to finally use the
Cuisinart hand blender!
A missing cupcake! I had to try one before putting the frosting on all :)
