Intense Vanilla Cupcakes Recipe
These were made for an office birthday celebration. They are super intense in the vanilla flavor, and really decadent. A big hit. Lots of people asked for the recipe afterwards.

Wow, sounds great! Have to look for some of that paste....=)


Best place to find it is at AJ's Fine Foods. I got a decent sized bottle for 8 bucks. It lasts a while. Williams Sonoma also carries it, but with a heftier price tag of course. I guarantee once you buy some of that stuff, you'll be hooked, and want to use it in EVERYTHING!


Sound great!


Oh this sounds heavenly. Trader Joe's also carries vanilla paste, for a very reasonable price.
