Funfetti Cupcakes for my Blogaversary and a Giveaway!

February 13, 2012 by Audra 207 Comments

One year ago on Superbowl Sunday I had an idea. I was feeling creatively stifled, and I knew I needed to do something big to change that. I wanted to spend more time making things, and less time feeling bummed about not doing that. So, as I sat around with my friends and family- I mentioned the idea of starting a baking blog. I spent that week thinking about it, and one year ago today I started something I have grown to love so much. A little celebration is in order don’t you think?

IMG_56061

Something bright, fun, and of course delicious was needed. And what screams celebration more than funfetti? (It sure makes me feel special.) Add some creamy vanilla frosting decked out in even more sprinkles and these cupcakes really made my day.

….because we need to celebrate these special moments in life don’t we?

And since it’s the one year anniversary of The Baker Chick, I thought I’d give you a present. (Where would I be without you after all?) One lucky reader will win two of my absolute favorite things to have in my kitchen- a cute Anthropologie apron and a jar of Nielsen-Massey Vanilla Bean Paste.

Funfetti Cupcakes for my Blogaversary and a Giveaway!
Yield: 12 cupcakes
 
Ingredients
  • ½ cup butter
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 whole eggs (room temperature)
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1½ cups flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ⅓ cup milk (room temperature)
  • ⅓ cup assorted brightly colored sprinkles + more for top of frosting
  • vanilla buttercream
  • 2 sticks of unsalted buter- room temperature.
  • 2½ cups powdered sugar
  • 2-4 tsp milk or cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla bean paste or extract
  • Sprinkles for decorating
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Cream butter and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer until fluffy, and pale about 3 minutes.
  3. Scrape down the bowl and add eggs and vanilla and beat until combined. Combine dry ingredients in a separate bowl. Alternate adding the dry ingredients and milk gradually, mixing only until just combined. Don't over mix! Fold in the sprinkles and pour into cupcake tins - filling them ⅔ of the way. Bake for 18-20 minutes. Let cool, then frost.
For Frosting:
  1. In a large bowl, cream the butter until it is fluffy and pale. Gradually add the powdered sugar and beat until it is well combined and thick. Add the vanilla paste and 1 tsp at a time of milk until the frosting is a creamy and good spreading consistency. Pipe/Spread on cupcakes and top with sprinkles.

    I just found your blog and just love it. The coconut salted caramel cookies were a hit at Superbowl and next up is something for Valentine’s Day! I have put off doing much baking (even though I enjoy it) due to end results being consumed in our house, but realized from your blog that I can just randomly surprise the neighbors instead of keeping it all!

    Thanks, having fun trying the recipes,

    You made it past the one year milestone!!!!! Nowadays it’s hard to find someone who sticks to something that long! Found your website today and as a budding baker I have to say I can’t wait to try all of your recipes, starting tonight. Favourite part of what I’ve seen is your pictures (for me I find pictures help sell the product). Keep at it!!!!!!!!!

I am currently a student so I love to try your new recipes during my study break (and my husbad appreciates them very much too!) Happy Anniversary and I hope for many more years to come!

    Your beautiful blog makes me happy every time I look at it! The creative ideas, gorgeous photos, and inspiration are amazing! I’m starting a small pie baking business from home – (cupcake-size pies) and I came across your blog while searching for ideas a couple of weeks ago. I made the soft sugar cookies for Valentines Day and they were wonderful – so much better than the chemical-laden ones my daughter likes from the grocery store! My daughter even made them into bow tie shapes for her boyfriend and they were a huge hit!
    Thanks for doing what you do, and best of luck to you!
