Today is my Birthday so I made myself Healthy Vanilla Piñata Protein Cupcakes with naturally colored pink yogurt icing! They are delicious and beautiful all at the same time! Almost to pretty too eat – ALMOST!
It’s just not a Birthday without sprinkles!
If you decide to like the frosting bowl, I won’t tell! 😉
I used PEScience Gourmet Vanilla Select Protein to make these cupcakes because it bakes better than any other protein I’ve worked with – hands down! Vanilla is also my favorite because it’s so versatile. Try any PEScience product for 30% OFF using code PBCHOCO.
