And they are pink, which is enough to make my pink lover’s heart happy. Scroll through to learn my easy and delicious Blush Rose Cupcakes recipe!

Yummy and Delicious Cupcakes!

To start, these cupcakes are SO delicious!

Like seriously, melt-in-your-mouth-no-one-is-going-to-believe-you-made-this-at-home delicious; and yet they are super easy to bake at home because let’s be honest we need these things to be easy and preferably take a short amount of time right?

And… OH MY GOSH LOOK AT THE PINK FROSTING!!  Sorry, I just had to shout it because it’s so beautiful it hurts.

What really makes this blush rose cupcakes shine is the pink buttercream. Making buttercream is one of the easiest things ever, you just need a little bit of patience (like 5 minutes top) and 2 ingredients. If those 5 minutes feel like an eternity you can always use store-bought frosting (it can be our little secret) and add a couple of drops of vanilla to make it taste more like something you whipped up.

How to Make the Icing Blush Pink

To make it pink (which clearly is the best part ever!) add 1 TINY drop of food coloring, really really tiny, half of what you think you need.

Food coloring is really strong, trust me, the first time I used it I ended with hot pink (think neon pink signs) cupcakes, cool? Definitely! What I was looking for? Not at all. So you know, just use very little. You can read more tips + tricks to make the frosting at home here.
