Having a cake tasting is a traditional event when planning a wedding. While it is usually reserved for a wedding planner and bridal party, we decided it was high time that someone hosted a modern take on a traditional cake tasting. That is why we came up with the idea to create a cupcake tasting bridal shower event! The 5 different flavors of cupcakes that we were able to create from our vanilla cupcake recipe were: Vanilla Vanilla cupcake, Lemonade cupcake, White Chocolate + Strawberry cupcake, Chocolate Raspberry + Vanilla cupcake, and Coconut cupcake. We're also including our favorite Vanilla Cupcake recipe!!
Top a vanilla cupcake with vanilla buttercream for a traditional cupcake everyone will enjoy! We added a few golden stars to add a little flair to our vanilla vanillas.
