-I add prune (ready pack from Sunsweet brand) in this cup cake, I learnt from Sulianmama here. This cup cake is a bit sweet for my taste, but kids enjoy this very much especially the buttercream..

I bet the prunes really made these over the top.
Nice shot Sonia. Love the piping of the buttercream on the cupcake. I sometimes just whipped plain unsweetened cream and pipe it on the cupcakes. It looks as good as butter cream, light in texture and helps take away some of the sweetness.
I will be helping my SIL for a coming bake sale at her daughter's school next week. Will definitely consider using your cupcake and buttercream, it looks good. ;)
your cupcakes look really pretty with the frosting and the colourful bits.
Not a fan of cream but the cake, just give it to me anytime.
还有吗?..还有吗?...有黑枣的蛋糕,我偏爱...

Beautiful n healthy cup cakes...
The cupcakes look pretty and your daughter's classmates must be delighted.
Children usually like cupcakes because they have the feeling of owning the whole cake !
They look so tempting !!!
wow!!! Awesome!!! nice click too..yummy yumm!!
Do you mind sending them over? hehe....
The cakes look very well baked, I like the look of the texture. Fine crumbed.
I prefer swiss meringue buttercream over traditional buttercream ,much lighter feel, less sweet and I'd say more stable in our weather.
Unsweetened cream is dairy whipping cream, but that is not suitable for our over 30C weather. It will sweat and melt when it's out of the fridge for long. And these buttercupcakes do not taste nice when referigerated, cos they will turn hard. So, when u leave the hardened cupcakes to room temperature to soften, the whipped cream will... melt.......melt ....
Our Malaysia weather is not very friendly to a lot of things....
You are an artist with both the camera and a pastry bag. They are gorgeous and they sound delicious. I hope you are having a wonderful day. Blessings...Mary
WOW... they look so good. And prunes is a genius touch!
awesome is the word :D
looks absolutely delicious
Prunes, huh? Very interesting. I'd be willing to give this a try.

Dear all, Thanks for your lovely words..
Wendy, this buttercream still not melted even I kept till the next day in normal room temp...
These look beautiful - I bet the girls loved them. How was the pizza?
These cup cakes are very pretty.
Hi Sonia
so tempting! Can I subsitute heavy cream with others? and what is the quantity? thanks
AW
Hi Sonia,
I like to try out the butter cream recipe, may I know if the butter can be kept in the refrigerator?
AW, maybe you can just omit the heavy cream, but not sure it will have the same kind of texture or not, as I never try this way.
Grace, did you mean keep buttercream in the fridge? No, you don't need to keep in fridge, just in the normal room temp. If you keep in the fridge, the buttercream will turn hard. I kept this cup cake till the next day, the cream still not melted. Happy trying!
Thanks. Is heavy cream same with thicken cream? AW
