Many say action speaks louder than words. But won’t you consider having the thought of having words sweeter than actions? Why not put that sweetness under these conversation cupcakes in your birthday! Time reducing and not tedious to make, these cupcakes would speak for the celebrant or to the visitors themselves. Here’s how to achieve that sweet words in every bite.

Ingredients

18 ¼ oz white cake mix
1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
1/2 cup shortening
1 tsp vanilla extract
4 cups confectioners' sugar
2 tbps milk
Food coloring (Color depends upon you or to the celebrant)

Procedure

Preparing the mini-cakes. Prepare your cupcake mix and follow directions at the cover of the package to achieve accuracy in mixing the ingredients. Get your muffin tins (shaped tins would be better) and put some foil linings or even paper linings at the edges. Fill the cups with half of the cupcake mixture or in accordance with the capacity of the tin molds. Baking should also comply with the direction stated in the package’s cover to ensure proper preparation procedure. Cool the baked cupcakes for 10 minutes and remove from the oven and finally from the molders.
The sweet words. To prepare the frosting, you must first cream butter and shortening in a bowl. To add flavor, you may include vanilla extract or butter flavoring for the cream butter. Add a cup of sugar and beat well, do the same to the remaining additions, one cup at a time. Finally, add milk and beat into the mixture until it becomes fluffy. Divide the frosting into four parts, and put into separate bowls. Leave one bowl of frosting plain while having the other three parts hued with food coloring. Apply colored frostings as base of the cupcake message and finally pipe the untinted frosting and have this as your writing and decorating instrument on your cupcake tops.

The celebrant could have these written with the visitors’ name, with which each one would be delightful to receive and eat. To add more fun, even visitors could write into it and have them as birthday wishes for the celebrant; this way, appreciation would be much sweeter! So, prepare those frosting writings and let this cupcake design be the talk of the birthday party!
