Kingsday Cupcakes

On April 27^th we celebrate Kingsday in the Netherlands. This year I made Kingsday cupcakes for the occasion. A favorite normally to sell on a jumble sale, but sadly there weren’t any ‘vrijmarkten’ this year. But we had a Koningsdag cupcake at home to celebrate the day.

The cupcakes are simple, but delicious vanilla cupcakes with yogurt in them. Topped with butter cream and orange edible confetti. The recipe is from the cookbook ‘Alle dagen feest!’ from Xenos.

When looking for another kind of cupcake, try these Eyeballs Cupcakes or Pulled Pork Egg Muffins. When looking for a healthy cupcake, check out this Breakfast Mug Cake. Looking for a delicious cookie, look no further than these White Chocolate Orange Cookies. For a colorful drink to serve with the cupcakes, try this Blue Latte.

Review

The cupcakes were easy to make, the recipe was clear. I’ve changed the topping slightly. I didn’t have orange food coloring at home to make the butter cream orange. So I kept the butter cream white and topped it with the orange confetti.
