These cupcakes were truly a success. I was in the mood to make an almond flavored cupcake, but I couldn’t find a recipe for one online (just recipes for almond flavored icing). I wanted a light and fluffy cupcake, so I found a recipe for a light white cupcake, and then I added some chopped almonds with some almond extract. I also drizzled in some honey to the mix because it is said to make the cupcake moist. They were so delicious. Had a distinct almond flavor and were very light and moist. It was just what I wanted. Then I topped it off with a buttercream icing. I did add a little almond extract and honey to the icing, but not much because I wanted it to match, not overpower. I will definitely make these again!
The mix!
The icing - so yummy!

Fresh out of the oven!
I used my new icing decorator tool and some of them turned out great!
They cupcakes go great with milk!
You can see the bits of almond on the inside.

Those cupcakes look and sound really good! I can see you have been playing around with the icing gear, but I suggest a couple of hours at Aunt Cap's house! We really do need to get her to pass along some of her secrets...especially her chocolate cake recipe!
