For my cousin's baby shower I made the Billy Reece cupcakes. You can find the recipe here. I'm not much of a buttercream frosting person but I did make it for these cupcakes. FYI: it's the exact same buttercream frosting that Magnolia makes except they add one more teaspoon of vanilla. I wish I had used the cream cheese frosting from Martha Stewart. I may have overbeaten the mixture. I think the Magnolia recipe to me does taste a little better but I haven't made them for awhile so I can't be quite sure. Anyway here are some photos. I also got a new toy... the Williams Sonoma Mechanical Pastry Bag. I was still getting the hang of it so my cupcake decorating wasn't too creative.
BTW: The Gymboree gift boxes make great cupcake transporters.
The cupcakes turned out so perfectly! Mine would be all lumpy and uneven...beautiful piping.
