The Joy of Replicating Professionally Baked Cupcakes

By Claudia Looi Leave a Comment

4 Oct

This is a homemade cupcake...made by two teen girls. It looks totally professional and impressive that I had to blog about it.
 
They got the recipe from Butter Lane Cupcakes, a New York City Cupcake Bakery. Here is the link to the recipe. They attempted to make the Vanilla Cupcakes, using a half pound of butter, two and half cups of granulated sugar, five eggs, three cups of cake flour and more.

They used mini cupcake molds to make a few mini cupcakes for those who prefer smaller portions.
Imagine seven cups of confectioner's sugar, 4 sticks of butter to make icing for 24 cupcakes...

Opening up the vanilla bean. And scraping the bean out (below).

These just came out of the oven...

Look at the glorious icing...

Heavenly delicious...not your ordinary cupcake. Definitely worth trying. If you are looking to raise money through bake sales, these cupcakes are your strategy to steal big profits. Instead of the usual cookie cutter cupcakes from store bought pre-mix, brownies or chocolate chip cookies, try something different. Get your kids to try something new.
 
We have not been to Butter Lane New York, but this recipe found on their Facebook page was a great treat for a lazy Saturday afternoon. It probably came close to the Butter Lane's Vanilla Cupcake baked in the store.
 
What do you think of these 'professionally' baked cupcakes? Let us know.

Most visitors only spend a few hours in San Marino Most visitors only spend a few hours in San Marino. I decided to stay overnight, and it completely changed the experience.

As the day-trippers left, the streets fell silent. The medieval castle took on a different charm in the warm evening light, the sunset over the surrounding countryside was unforgettable, and dinner was a delicious plate of fresh truffle pasta.

If you’re planning a trip through Italy, don’t just make San Marino a quick stop. Spend the night. You’ll experience a peaceful side of one of the world’s smallest countries that many visitors never get to see.

Would you stay overnight in San Marino?

I couldn’t believe it when our guide showed us thi I couldn’t believe it when our guide showed us this tiny rainforest seed in Kinabalu Park. After a few tries with the lighter, it finally caught fire and burned like a candle thanks to its natural oils.

Nature never stops surprising me. Have you ever seen a seed that can do this?

During our walking tour of Baku, we unexpectedly s During our walking tour of Baku, we unexpectedly stumbled upon a rehearsal of traditional Azerbaijani male dancers. Dressed in their striking chokha costumes and papakha hats, they practiced powerful, warrior-like movements rooted in centuries of Caucasian tradition.

It wasn’t a staged performance for tourists, just a beautiful, authentic glimpse into Azerbaijan’s living culture. These spontaneous moments are often the ones I remember most from my travels.

You haven’t truly experienced Malaysia until you’v You haven’t truly experienced Malaysia until you’ve had a glass of Teh Tarik. 🇲🇾

Known as “pulled tea,” this beloved Malaysian drink is made with strong black tea and sweetened condensed milk, then skillfully poured back and forth to create a smooth, creamy texture and its famous frothy top.

From mamak stalls to family gatherings, Teh Tarik is more than a drink, it’s a taste of Malaysia’s warmth, culture, and everyday life.

Have you tried Teh Tarik before, or would this be on your Malaysia food list? 👇🇲🇾
