To celebrate my in-laws 30th anniversary, they requested two things of me: buttery cupcakes and sweet potato dinner rolls.
The cupcake recipe is from Joy of Baking (I omitted the lemon and used a butter-vanilla flavor instead). I ran out of cupcake liners, so I ended up also making a small single layer cake. Please excuse my poor piping skills! I also attempted to use the Viva method of making a smooth fondant-like frosting, but my buttercream was a bit too soft (the recipe has more shortening than butter)– hence the rippled appearance on the cake.
I make these sweet potato rolls from Pinch My Salt often. My only tweak is that I use Lyle’s Golden Syrup in place of the sugar. Sometimes I also use regular white potatoes and throw in some garlic and/or herbs. They are very soft, yet still hold together well enough to use as a sandwich roll as well. Also great warm with honey or apple butter for breakfast 
Always a hit!
