Modern Ballerina

Wearing this tutu-esque top with  a classic top bun (supplemented with a rolled sock) makes me feel like an embellished ballerina.

Cupcake Tip

Flavored Frosting

vancouver food blog

If you've ever browsed the baking aisle of your neighborhood grocery store, you'll know that the frosting selection is often quite limited.  It's rare to see more than the standard offerings of vanilla and chocolate unless you visit a specialty shop.

One way to combat this, is to create your own frosting from scratch. The options are limitless when you can add whatever flavor or use whatever method you choose.

Sadly, not all of us have the time and skill to conceive well-rounded flavors from just raw ingredients.

I wanted to share a really great and simple effective way to work around this: bubble tea powder mix.

I've found that adding a few tbs of bubble tea mix powder to your generic vanilla icing will really give it that unique flavor.

And bonus: it adds color as well, so no need for food coloring!
