Okay. Maybe it’s a little silly that there’s a National Vanilla Cupcake Day, a National Chocolate Cupcake Day, AND a National Cupcake Day.
But can anybody really complain about a chance to celebrate with cupcakes? On any day?!
So in honor of National Vanilla Cupcake Day — today — we made Vanilla Cream Cupcakes with Vanilla Glaze. And what better way to celebrate the simple but beautiful flavor of vanilla than to put the whole thing in a simple white baking cup. Of course we couldn’t resist the strawberries we saw at the grocery store when we went shopping.
Vanilla Cream Cupcakes with Vanilla Glaze
WHAT YOU NEED
French Vanilla Cake Mix (and all required ingredients)
Vanilla Pudding

INSTRUCTIONS
BAKE cupcakes according to package directions; set aside
PREPARE pastry bag with vanilla pudding and Round decorating tip #230
INJECT cooled cupcakes with desired amount of pudding by inserting pastry bag tip 1 inch into cupcake and squeezing bag (we found that about 10 seconds of pressure was the right amount)
