Hi I'm Anne, I'm coming over from The Pink Momma. As what my blog name says, I am a fan of Pink. Yes! It's my favorite color! Ha! I'm a stay-at-home mom to my little girl, she's 11 months old. I love to cook and bake. Making and decorating cakes is my passion and I'm hoping to have my own bakeshop someday.
That's me with my little one!
Today I will share a cupcake recipe.

1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup buttermilk
For Whipped Cream Frosting:
1 1/4 teaspoon unflavored gelatin
5 teaspoons cold water
1 1/4 cups heavy whipping cream
5 tablespoons confectioner's sugar
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (use clear vanilla extract if you want your frosting to be white)
Directions:
In a large bowl, cream the butter, sugar and food coloring until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla. Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; add to creamed mixture alternately with buttermilk, beating well after each addition. Fill paper-lined muffin cups two-thirds full. Bake at 350° for 23-27 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely.
