Plain Janes
Well, a few of my mother's friends took me to see "Jersey Boys" and I had so much fun that I knew I had to make it up to them somehow, and so, uninspired, I made a batch of basic white cupcakes with vanilla buttercream. Never underestimate the power of a simple recipe. These were delicious!
