Betsy's Vanilla Cupcakes

I am a carrier; my daughter has CF. I made many of these cupcakes with white buttercream frosting and chocolate frosting for my daughter’s best friend’s wedding reception. My daughter and Betsy had known each other since elementary school; my daughter was in the wedding party. Betsy specifically asked for these cupcakes.
