Vanilla Ice Cream Cupcakes – and I introduce you to Triac

Don’t you find those cupcakes super cute? They are ideal as a present or to make with children. I made them in a very simple vanilla version and with a light cream cheese frosting, but of course you can use your favourite cupcakes recipe and give them ice cream shape.

Hello my dear readers! Have you seen that cosy recipe? To make cupcakes with ice cream shape is not new, surely you have already seen it on the internet and on various blogs. But I really wanted to make them someday, so here they are just in case someone can use the idea.

And what do you think my little Troll in the pictures? I show them, even if they are not perfect, for you to realize how complicated it is sometimes to make the photos with Mr. Naughty hanging around. Those who have cat for sure understand me, you cannot do anything new literally without them coming to sniff and see what is happening.

And well, since I took it in the photos I introduce it to you. This is my pretty, mischievous, sweet and super-spoiled cat. He’s name is Triac and I have him for almost 5 years. I adopted him still being a baby (he still was taking bottle) in an animal shelter near where I lived before in Barcelona and now he lives here in Munich, obviously.

And what else can I tell you about him? Well, I love him a lot, that he follows me everywhere inside and outside the house, yes yes …, he is a traveller cat has already visited several countries. He is super loving and that more than a cat sometimes behaves like a person, he talks to me and I talk to him. And well, because it shatters me photographic scenes (among many other things) that you have already seen … But basically, that adopting him is the best thing I’ve done and I rejoice every minute of life since I have him.

And now that you know that I’m crazy lady talking to her cat (actually, I talk to many more things), I leave you with the recipe. I really think I was so happy with these ice cream cupcakes because I have a trauma for the winter so hard we are having here and I cannot wait for the summer to arrive!!
