Earlier this week I made Cinnamon Bun Cupcake from Robicelli’s:
A Love Story, with Cupcakes. I had loads of leftover French Buttercream so
I made more cupcakes…
…I didn't want to waste the frosting!!
Honest! That and I wanted to try another recipe.
The Bea Arthur cupcake is Black Coffee Chocolate Cake with
Cheesecake Buttercream and an Espresso Ganache.
All I had to do was add some vanilla to the leftover frosting and I had Cheesecake Buttercream. It was the perfect combo.

I hadn't left the cold buttercream come to room temperature
before whipping it up with the vanilla (I used vanilla bean paste) so it wasn't
as smooth as the previous cupcakes.
Ah well, they were still delicious. Soft and rich and
delicious! I was a lot happier with these cupcakes.
Mr Knightley teases me about my moods when something I make
doesn't turn out how I wanted. Basically I’m like a toddler having a bit of a
tantrum. Even though my logical mind tells me that I’m being silly for being
annoyed, it doesn't stop me from being annoyed.
There is always something to learn no matter if things go
according to plan or not. As my daughter’s fortune cookie said “When you lose,
don’t lose the lesson.”
The lesson? When at first you don’t succeed try try again? or Look to the brighter side?
That’s a good enough lesson for me, especially when talking
about cupcakes…
