Vanilla Bean Cupcakes

These Vanilla Bean Cupcakes are amazing.  I make these often for my family and extended family.  These are one of the cupcakes I make that are the kids favorite.  The kids request vanilla bean ice cream to go with them.  In fact, my daughter would rather me make these cupcakes for her birthday instead of having a huge cake to celebrate.  Of course, mom does what she requests and I whipped these cupcakes up for her last birthday.

My husband is a sweet lover and would rather have a white or yellow cake mixture rather than chocolate.  He says these Vanilla Bean cupcakes are something different for a change.  He would rather eat these alone than to have ice cream with them.

As most of you know, I am a huge fan of cupcakes.  Personally, this cupcake recipe I believe is delicious and the flavors from the Vanilla Bean are amazing.  You can not miss the Vanilla Bean flavor that is for sure.  This is a very tasty cupcake and frosting as well.  I was shocked myself when I first made these.  They are simply delicious!

My daughter is seriously thinking about doing this for her next 4-H Baking Project.  She always loves to help out in the kitchen and has won before in cooking.  I told her to give it a try if that is what she wants to do!  I always try to encourage my children and let them decide what projects that they would like to do each year.  I think these Vanilla Bean Cupcakes could very well be another winner for her.

Have you had Vanilla Bean Cupcakes before?  If so, what did you think of the flavors?  Did you like the ones that you have tried?  Have you made your own before?  Tell me in the comments below if you enjoyed these cupcakes or if you did anything different to the recipe.  I hope you will enjoy making your very own!
