I made these birthday cupcakes for my friend, Mama A who just had a birthday. But I also have to say Happy Birthday to my cousin, Jen, who we just threw a baby shower for two weeks ago.

These Billy's vanilla vanilla cupcakes are one of my favorite recipes because:
1. they are from scratch and they have a slightly denser crumb which I prefer to a mix.
2. the butter doesn't have to be pre-softened and they turn out just fine if the butter is a bit lumpy in the mix.
3. it's a one bowl recipe.
The vanilla buttercream frosting is super fresh and delicious and made with lots of powdered sugar and butter.

You can make anything with these melting chips. They aren't a great list of ingredients but you eat just a bit and they made wonderful decorations.

Hoping to make a few more cupcakes before the summer ends...
Do you have a favorite cupcake recipe? I'd like to branch out and try something new.
