I am in love with how cute these cupcakes have turned out!! I love their subtle yellow smooth, fluffy buttercream and think the novelty yellow striped paper straw adds another level of cuteness.
I have been wanting to make thes for a few weeks after seeing a recipe for strawberry milkshake cupcakes on the blog Sunday Baking . But I do not like strawberry milkshakes and love banana and as the recipe uses Nesquik milkshake powder which comes in strawberry, banana and chocolate I knew I had to try the banana version. I used my usual vanilla cupcake recipe for the cupcakes and my unusual buttercream recipe for the buttercream but added a milkshake powder/milk paste to make the banana milkshake flavoured buttercream. This worked really well! I did not need to add any food colouring to the buttercream as the milkshake powder added enough colouring to make the buttercream a lovely light yellow colour. I made this batch of cupcakes for a charity bake sale at my work for a local cancer charity. But these would be great to make with kids also because they are super quick and easy and taste just like milkshake! Keep reading for the recipe: |
