Sweet Vanilla Bean!

can you see the little black speckles?

the lovely Irene with her cuppie!

I had a great weekend! Time for catching up with friends and it was a night of pot luck food and playing Tabu! Since it was also a belated birthday make up dinner for my gal pal Irene, I made butter cupcakes and vanilla bean buttercream for dessert time! The result, deliciously simple and sweet. And it went with the great champagne!
