Vanilla cupcakes with vanilla buttercream. How else would one celebrate DC's marriage equality bill?
I spent most of Friday making cupcakes for an event at my church, All Souls Unitarian, in Columbia Heights. All Souls was a big supporter of DC’s Marriage Equality Bill – in fact, the bill was signed in the church sanctuary. Last Saturday the church had a big celebration in honor of the bill. And what says celebration like cupcakes?
So here it is – my first really big cupcake challenge. I donated twelve dozen cupcakes – chocolate with a chocolate gaze, and vanilla with vanilla bean buttercream. Some might say these flavors are boring, but I think chocolate and vanilla are timeless, stylish classics. Like a really great tuxedo.

Chocolate cupcakes with a chocolate cream glaze.
The chocolate ones look a little less impressive than the vanilla in the box, but believe me – they smelled amazing. I’m in love with that chocolate glaze.
Some might say that vanilla cupcakes are boring. But I just think they're really hard to do well.
The only bad moment came at around 1:00 am, when I accidentally tipped over a box of a dozen vanilla cupcakes and had to re-pipe them. Let’s just say I wasn’t a happy camper. Not at all.
See, aren't those chocolate cupcakes prettier out of the box?

I’m so impressed! your piping is looking really good and the chocolate is just lucsious looking!
Great job, Jenna!
Nice piping! Love the speckles the vanilla bean makes…
Great job!! I’m making a huge order in 2 weeks which is basically the same – chocolate and vanilla. I thought about getting fancy with the topping but with that many cupcakes, simple is key – and yours still look great!
These look so fantastic! I’m so glad all of your hard work paid off!!
