My Little Pony Cutie Cupcakes
Today I made My Little Pony Mrs Cake Cutie Mark Cupcakes with my special guest Austin Mahone! I really enjoy making nerdy themed goodies and decorating them. I'm not a pro, but I love baking as a hobby.
Yield: Makes about 24 cupcakes
Things you'll need
Ingredients- 2 cups Flour
- 1 1/2 cups Sugar

- 2 tsp Vanilla extract
- 5 egg whites
- 1 Stick of butter

Let's get started!
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt.
- In a medium bowl, cream together the butter, shortening and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add in the vanilla and almond extract.
- Add the egg whites one at a time beating well in each addition.
- Place your milk in a measuring cup and add the cherry syrup until it reaches 1 cup.
- Alternate adding the dry ingredients and the milk into the wet ingredients, starting and ending with the dry.
