Made icing with this Matcha!
Madagascar Vanilla Buttercream. I almost wept!
There is no bitterness at all when you make this into an icing for a chocolate cupcake. Just saying – if you want to try it, I will high five you.
Here’s the recipe/pictures!!!

wow – looks great!
Sounds fantastic!
Totally droolworthy.
Tasty beyond belief!
looks absolutely delicious!
I’m super tempted by the flavored matchas from RLT…but the only matcha I’ve had was the stuff in a Starbucks green tea latte & I thought it was a bit too spinachy. Bad experience to gauge by?
So how do you feel about a guest????
@Missy – anyone is welcome to my home for cupcakes – I just need a few hours notice if you do decide to visit ;D
@Owen – that’s a very good question! I’ve had the starbucks latte you speak of, and to be honest, I also found it extremely spinachy in flavour (almost like a characture of a matcha) but I kind of enjoyed that!
I think RLT is more mellow in the flavours you’re describing – and their flavoured matcha is really delicious. The nice thing is, if you’re a bit wary, you can choose how strong you want the added flavour to be! I’m told the higher flavour levels hardly taste like matcha at all, so maybe you could give those a try and wean your way down if you do enjoy it!
Hope that’s helpful! :D
Thanks Daisy! I think I’ll give it a shot then.
Aww you are so nice Miss DaisyChubb. :D
Oh no, the pleasure would be all mine!
Awesome Owen, I look forward to seeing your future tasting notes ;D
OMG! How are you so amazing?!
@DaisyChubb- have you ever tried adding your own flavoring to Matcha – for example vanilla extract?
Oh no I haven’t Amy! I have some real vanilla extract from my last holiday so I should try that – I bet it would work
