Cupshoot.

So I was practicing my cupcakes for a girl's birthday on Friday and as always I ended up with a bunch of cakes. So I had the bright idea to call up some friends and have them drive by and get it out of my house (before it went all in my tummy)
One of those friends has a professional photographer for a husband. So he took some pics of the cupcake I gave them.

And for today's recipe:::

White chocolate buttercream on lemon cupcakes.











Ingredients:
6 oz of good white chocolate
2 sticks (one cup) of unsalted butter
2 cups of confectioners sugar
3 to 4 spoons of half and half

How to:
Melt the chocolate and let it cool
beat the sugar and butter till creamy
add melted chocolate
and add the cream spoon by spoon till you get right consistence.
You're ready to pipe!

I used lemon cake mix.
Also for filing, I made lime mouse (the same one I used on the pie last week) But this is for another post. The mini cake I'm working at right now.

I just wanted to show off the pics of the cupcake. Came out great. Thank you Betty and Jaymz!

Look forward to have more of my cakes and creations photographed by him again!

So there you have it! Working on my mini cake (to top the cupcake tower) :)))
