Vanilla cupcakes with cream cheese frosting

It’s a mom-and-daughter baking project. I baked the cupcakes and mixed the frosting. Sam tinted the frosting and piped them on the cupcakes. She’s not a pastry chef. She’s turning 16 tomorrow and she’s never taken baking classes. If you want the full story on how we did the cupcakes, see “Once upon a time, she wanted to be a chef.”

These vanilla cupcakes were made from a recipe adapted from Chockylit’s 3 Vanilla Cupcakes with Vanilla Sea Salt. Easy enough for amateurs like Sam and me.
