Very vanilla cupcakes
A cupcake without icing is like a blank canvas! The more you stare at it, the more you think about the different things you can put on top of it! So many choices! So many colours! Simply so many decisions! Aaaaaah!
And then there are the times when one has absolutely no idea and cannot make a decision! Those *scatterbrain * days! How they creep up on you! I think these are the perfect times to continue to stare at the blank canvas (because it isn’t going anywhere), and in the case of the cupcake, just eat it simply as it is and enjoy its very vanilla goodness! The vanilla sugar really enhances the vanilla flavour in these simple cupcakes! And I guess if you do happen to feel the creative bug bite you, you can always decorate them as you see fit!
