my GF will throw me into the oven and bake me till i am 99% burnt if i don’t blog about this.
yes. cupcakes. it’s the latest craze that my GF is into right now. spent countless of hours searching through the web and book stores finding the right recipes and the perfect measurement and also lots of trial and error in the process of making it.
as usual, the laziness in me will try not to type much word in the blog and post pictures instead. after all a picture is worth a thousand words, right? feast your eyes on our experiment (and don’t salivate on your keyboard!!!):
one set that we managed to made. boy, those icing sure melt fast once they are left in room temperature.
can you see they are beginning to melt?
with chocolate chips
actually this face is an accident. the yellow icing was supposed to cover round the cupcakes. but it ran out halfway. but my quick thinking GF got an idea and made this face instead. smart!!!
even i can’t resist kissing ‘her’. how can i eat ‘her’?! lol!!!
the above was the first time. not exactly the first time making cupcakes. just the first time making it with decorative icing. the ones below are the second time doing it:
before baking…
in process…
voila!!! fresh from the oven!
this is the result after applying the icing
to be frank, the icing that we put in this time is not as smooth as our previous batch as the cupcakes rose higher that the cups itself. that made it harder for us to smoothen the surface.
hence, you can see the uneven surface on the cupcakes as shown in several photos below:
can you see what is written there? it was meant for Chun’s birthday.
another obvious uneven surface…
but of course, there are also a few nice ones (if you know how to cover it. hehe!). these are some that i like:
except for the above. the above is my attempt in decorating a cupcake. needless to say, it is an Epic Phail!!! haha!
that’s all for the cupcakes presentation.
and oh, better watch out the electrical bills too. too much baking causes the bills to spike up!!!
and oh… for heaven’s sake, please wipe off those saliva from your keyboard! lol!
