Brown Butter, Vanilla Bean Cake With Whipped Caramel Chocolate Frosting

I am officially 22-years old. 

The best way to celebrates (in my eyes) is to make the most extravagant cake you can come up with, plus gifts are always welcome. This year I combined all my favorite flavors in one very tall and rich cake. I am just a simple girl with simple taste buds - Vanilla, Brown Butter, Chocolate & Caramel are a few of my favorites. This cake truly has it all. 

My parents bought me an ice cream make, Which is something I have been wanting for a while. I can't wait to make homemade ice cream!

I guess I'll go update my age in the about section................

Winter Wonderland {vanilla bean cupcakes with white chocolate buttercream}

Snow!

To all my dear readers, who just thought to themselves "what's the big deal?" let me explain. I live in Israel, so snow is not something we get every year. I think the last time it snowed was in 2008. So this is very exciting! Isn't snow pretty? The only downside is how cold it is. I didn't last that long outside, but my dog had the greatest time in the world. True bliss. 

I made vanilla bean cupcakes with white chocolate buttercream (a white theme, you see) to match the weather. The actual cake is really yummy and fluffy, but the buttercream is divine! It is so creamy and delicious. I think white chocolate may be underrated. The cupcakes were a huge success. You can't go wrong with classic vanilla.
