Description
This cupcake was made (along with others) for the Japan Earthquake Fundraiser being held in my city. I volunteered to donate some baked goods to raise money for the cause.These were made with real Vanilla Beans (see the little black specks on the cake?). They are UNBELIEVABLY tasty and the vanilla buttercream frosting is just perfect with them.
It's the first time I make these and I have a feeling that I will make them again in the near future.

I heard they're kind of expensive and rare over there? They grow in Mexico, so I can get them cheap

You're so lucky, they ARE really expensive over here...
I thought I had a really good deal when I paid about $18 for 16.

It's still a good deal, I've seen more expensive... over $5 each. My sister once went to "the" place for vanilla, Papantla, I don't even know how many she brought back (too many), but we could never use them all. And they were so soft and fresh...! freshest I've ever used. And they only were like $20 for all of them.

Awww I need to find more recipes to use them.
I loveeee the smell when I open my cupboard and I smell the vanilla bean.

Try making Crème brûlée, it's heavenly when you use vanilla beans.

Great idea. I think I really should. I wonder how hard it is to make. I'll try soon (but I think I would do a maple crème brûlée. I'm obsessed with maple and vanilla)

crème brûlée is easy to make! (but not so easy to pronounce, I can't!). I was planing to make a tutorial, I even took the photos but meh... I don't like them. My boyfriend took them, so they're very blurry.
I think I'll have to make some more then

It's easy for me to pronounce since french is my first language
MAKE THE TUTORIAL PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Cheater! my sister is learning French, and she always complains about my pronunciation. I can't say anything right!
Yes ma'am! I just asked my boyfriend to buy me more ingredients

Aww.. well it seems like it would be easier for you to learn than say someone that speaks russian. Because both french and spanish are latin based. It must not be that awful, lol.
YAYY I can't wait to seeeeeeeeee

Well that's true, but I'm kind of lame for French 
I just bought everything!!!

Thank you~ I actually tried to make it blue, but it turned out this way instead.

It looks like a pastel blue or a bluish green pastel color. I think it came out lovely!
