Vanilla Cupcakes w/ Swiss-Meringue Frosting

Hello! Just wanted to post some pics of the cupcakes I baked! I made vanilla cupcakes, which are always good; but have you ever had swiss-meringue buttercream frosting? It is the best icing! It is more challenging to make than other icings, but this was my first time making it and I think it turned out perfect. I used the recipe and directions from Martha Stewart's Cooking School new cookbook. The icing is so soft, fluffy, and perfectly sweet.

One of the final stages of the icing after the butter is added.

Finished product! Icing tinted with a little bit of blue gel food coloring.


They were yummy! Don't worry I didn't eat them all! The icing matches my china! :D
