Vanilla Cupcakes
These are probably the best vanilla cupcakes ever from Hello, Cupcake! I always forget how good they are until I make them.
Ingredients
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter
1 cup sugar
3 large eggs
Directions
1. Preheat the oven 350 F. Line 24 muffin cups with paper liners.
2. Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl. Combine the milk, oil and vanilla extract in a 2-cup measuring cup or a small bowl.
3. In another medium bowl, with an electric mixer on medium speed, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
4. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Reduce the speed to low and add the flour mixture alternately with the milk mixture in batches, beginning and ending with the flour mixture and beating just until blended.
Note: This mixture will be thick.. DO NOT ADD EXTRA MILK OR OIL TO MAKE IT WATERY.
5. Fill the paper liners two-thirds of the cup. I generally use an ice cream scooper, one scoops generally fills it up to two-thirds. Bake until golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove the cupcakes from the baking pan, place on a wire wrack and allow to cool completely

Justine's Wedding
Three months ago this girl that I work with was getting married. She wanted to be different and decided that at the end of her receiving line decided to give everyone a shot and a Cake pop. So of course who else would she enlist us to do it.
Also I thought I would make note of this but, since my first post my sister and I have invested in cake pop makers. If anyone wants to make their life a lot easier instead of making a cake and letting it cool down to roll them, this baby bakes them in about 3-5 minutes. It takes maybe a half an hour to 45 minutes to bake them all, all perfectly round and everything.
