plain vanilla

I know the fashion is for Hummingbird-style cupcakes with towers of brightly colored icing and handfuls of sparkly sprinkles and dragées.

But sometimes I just have a yen for a plain vanilla cupcake with a schmear of snowy white buttercream:

Sometimes simple is best.

    Hi I have come to your blog via pipany and discover your interests are very much like mine! cupcakes are tricky though, I am very keen on lemon myself.
    Love your pictures of the emma bridgewater factory below. I love her stuff too although at the moment I only have a single jug!

    Simple is good, and vanilla is the best flavour. They set off your plate nicely too - perfect all round!
