My 2-year-old birthday girl! Love her so much.
Maci had a Birdie-themed birthday party this year.
Just a small party with some family and close friends.
I made a basic white cupcake mix. Used cake flour and raw sugar.
I used the mixer bowl for the butter and sugar. So to beat the egg whites, I used just a plain mixing bowl and lifted it up with a cutting board. It actually stays in one place too.
Folding in the egg whites. I always feel like such a fancy baker when I'm "folding" egg whites.
Used little tulip cupcake holders. Love them. They worked well because the cupcake topping was so high. It all stayed contained inside the petals.
Didn't weigh each cupake this time. Just kind of eye-balled it.
Cupcakes were topped with a white 7-minute frosting (which, by the way, takes way more than 7 minutes to make). And a macaroon nest with malted eggs.
Had a chance to use my new cupcake stand from Williams Sonoma.
A Christmas gift from my sister-in-law.
Party favors for the adults was a boxed set of the cupcakes.
