One of my favorite food groups is pink. I love pretty pink desserts. I made the saffron cupcakes above and decided to frost them with a pink buttercream flavored with Fiori Di Sicilia. Fiori Di Sicila is one of my favorite ingredients ever! It's an Italian extract that's a combination of vanilla and citrus. It smells amazing and tastes even better. Here is a bit more about it:http://www.kingarthurflour.com/shop/landing.jsp?go=DetailDefault&ref=ti&id=1546&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_content=fiori&utm_campaign=ingredients&utm_term=default&gclid=CI7uqtb37ZgCFQ0hDQodQEQV0g I made the cupcakes using the recipe for Earl Grey cupcakes, but instead of using the tea, I used a pinch of saffron. Here's the Earl Grey recipe: http://www.veggienumnums.com/2009/01/earl-grey-cupcakes.html I made the buttercream using 8 ounces of soft cream cheese, 4 ounces of soft butter, powdered sugar-enough to make a thick frosting, and a splash of Fiori Di Sicilia. These cupcakes were beyond delicious-something about the saffron, vanilla, and citrus. I will definitely make these again.




I hope this post is understandable! I have to put some hot packs or something on my eyes as they seem to be getting puffier by the minute.
