Vanilla Chocolate Chip Cupcakes

Snowflake piping

  Happy December! I decided to whip up a simple vanilla cake mix but added a generous amount of chocolate chips. I mixed half of the chips in the cake batter and gentle pushed the rest into the top of the cakes when they were in the cases. I did this because they have a habit of sinking to the bottom. Once the cakes were cooled I turned them upside-down and found that most of the chocolate had sunk to the bottom, but the chips placed on the top were scattered within the cake! To decorate I made a vanilla buttercream and piped stars in a snowflake formation on the top of the cakes before sprinkling with glitter.
