My little girl has turned 4! She decided to go with a Hawaiian Luau theme this year, and between cookies for her loot bags, mini cupcakes for her classmates and a two tiered cake, complete with a look-a-like hula dancer, I was kept quite busy. The cupcakes are an egg-free vanilla recipe. The cake was one tier of banana cake with nutella buttercream and one tier of vanilla cake with orange buttercream.
These vanilla mini cupcakes were made for an end of season hockey banquet. Each cupcake was topped with a maple leaf personalized for every player and/or coach, a puck, a hockey stick or the name of a sponsor or important event in the league's season.
