eL is Baking: Pink Velvet Cuppies

Selamat Hari Raya!

I'm in still in my raya mood, eventhough I had to get back to work on the 6th day of Raya..Booo. Well. at least I had a great time celebrating Eid with my family. Hope it was great for everyone else too :)
Anyway, it has been a week after my Eid holidays, and my office planned a Pot Luck for Eid. I'm not much of a cook, so I opted to bring desserts.

I used the same recipe as the Red Velvet Cake, but since I'm out of red food colouring, I used pink food colouring instead, hence the name, Pink Velvet cuppies. I doubled the recipe and managed to get about 35 pcs of medium size cuppies (2.5" souffle cups)

Since the the recipe for the cake you can get it from here, I just want to share the recipe for the frosting. It claims to be a pipeable cream cheese frosting and it is easy to make.

Pipeable Cream Cheese Frosting adapted from ThePinkWhisk

Preparation time: 15 minutes
Yields enough frosting to cover about 32 cupcakes

Ingredients:
70 g of butter,soften
250 g cream cheese, cold
200 g icing sugar, sifted (use less if you don't like it too sweet)

Steps:
1. Cream butter and a tablespoon of icing sugar until fluffy and light.

2. Add the cold cream cheese, and mix well. Make sure you don't overbeat the cream cheese, since it will turn runny if beaten too long.

3. Tadaaaaa!

I personally love this recipe, and planned to make swirls as topping for the cuppies, but since my piping skills are crappy, i just spread the frosting with a spatula and decorate with sugar hearts.
