School Birthday Party
This year, Talon chose Speed City, a hotwheels cupcake cake, for his school party.
I ordered the buttercream frosting for more vibrant colors but Walmart used the whipped by mistake. The whipped is lighter and tastes a lot better so I might ask for it next time.
The cupcakes were a hit with the kids.
Which frosting do you like best? Buttercream (which is made with shortening and not butter at bakeries) or whipped?
I like homemade buttercream made with real butter. the bakery kind it way too sweet for me-- I think that is why I liked the whipped-- and the thought of eating shortening icks me. Silly, I know, butter isn't healthy either but it just sounds better... and tastes better.
Such lovely photos from the School Birthday Party. I am pleased to find these fun photos here. Well, my son is turning 18 year old so I want to make his birthday special. I will prefer hosting the roof top party so trying to find the most beautiful rooftop event venue in LA. Do you have any recommendations?
