Low Fat vanilla cupcakes w/icing :)

This is honestly the first dessert I have made completely homemade!

They may not be too pretty but they sure were good!

I changed the icing a tad but it still turned out pretty well, I was impressed!

I also for the first time used the silicone individual cupcake holders

and I liked them however I do wish the paper cups would have fit better.

Heres the recipes I used:
