Blue Cupcakes

Who said you cant color your buttercream blue???? Many cake decoraters faced this dillema. We always end up with green buttercream when we tried to color it blue. The reason? Butter has a yellowish tinge. So Yellow + Blue = Green lah! Most of the time, cake decoraters would use shortening to replace butter in their buttercream,  to get that nice baby blue shade. But we can only do this if you are willing to forgo the buttery taste, which is almost non-existent (u get that cloying taste on your tongue instead..yewww) if shortening is used as the ingredient in the buttercream.

But this time, I managed to break into the mystery of  this and get this nice shade of blue  instead.

This is ordered by my ever so loyal customer, Wawa, for her friends, Pat and Matt, who 

celebrated their 23rd b'day last Sunday.
