I have the priviledge of being the maid of honor in my best friend's wedding this June. They have been engaged since May of 2013, so it feels like it's been a long time coming, and everyone is so excited around here! I'm throwing her a bridal shower in a month and I'm also making cupcakes for it (as well as making her wedding cake, but you'll have to wait till June for that). I've tossed around a couple of ideas in my head for what flavor I should make, or if I should make two different flavors, or merge both flavors into one cupcake. Decisions! I think I've decided on just one flavor to cut down on stress before the shower, seeing as how I will also have to figure out how to safely transport them 300 miles to Indiana, but let's not worry about that now. What we do need to worry about now is which flavor to make...
And the winner is... (cue drumroll)...
...actually I'm not going to show you the winner. I'll save that till after her party (just in case she happens to be reading my blog right now... Hi Olivia!) but I can show you the loser, how's that?
And the loser is... (again cue the drumroll)...
Lavender, Honey, Earl Grey cupcakes with Earl Grey Buttercream frosting.
I think the idea of these cupcakes were amazing. I mean lavender, honey, and earl grey? That sounds pretty much like heaven to me. Unfortunately the recipe I used didn't have the "cupcake" texture I was looking for. It felt more like a muffin. A yummy muffin, but still a muffin. Also, the earl grey buttercream frosting. A super delicious concept, but with as much tea as I added, the flavor never got to the point that I wanted it to.
I'm definitely going to be trying the concept again, but with some different recipes, or maybe I'll just have to come up with my own. But until then I'm not going to be putting the recipe for these bad boys on here until I'm happy with them. So you'll just have to enjoy the pretty pictures. Wish me luck next time!
