Vanilla Bean Cupcake with a Vanilla Swiss Meringue Frosting

   For the second frosting i decided to go with my fav frosting of all time, the swiss meringue.

  I love the texture of this frosting, it is so silky smooth. I added Wilton icing gel to it just for fun, and i think it came out pretty sick. I topped it off with some Michel Cluizel white chocolate curls and silver glitter.

I didn't feel like the vanilla flavor was strong enough though, so i will be adding double the vanilla extract and perhaps a whole vanilla bean into the mix next time. It will be absolutely PERFECT! :)

Next week I've decided to make my dark chocolate cupcake, with a whipped dark chocolate peppermint ganache, sprinkled with crushed candy cane's! YUMMY
