My friends James and Hannah are getting married on the 23rd June and they have asked me to make 100 cupcakes. It will be the first time I will have to make a large number of cupcakes under pressure.
I really like baking and I think I am sometimes quite good at it, I am nowhere near as good as my friend Abbie, check out her amazing blog http://danngoodcake.blogspot.co.uk/ you may thing her cakes look good, trust me they taste even better!
So because my baking isn't completely up to scratch I decided I should practice.
They are
just vanilla sponge cupcakes with vanilla icing, the icing will (if
James and Hannah approve) be blue to go with their colour theme. They
are a tiny bit over cooked but I am generally pleased with them.
Things I learnt from this practice, 1. Don't get distracted when the cakes are in the oven/
set a timer. 2. put the silver balls on as soon as i have iced. I did
it too late this time and they ended up bouncing all over my kitchen.
Hi Emily! I happened upon your blog on Facebook and thought I'd check it out! These cupcakes are adorable!! Just a word of advice from a recent baking error of mine-- I was trying to make light blue icing for some cupcakes for a family with a new baby boy, but because the icing I used was butter-based it was slightly yellow, so with the added blue food dye my icing ended up being more of a turquoise. Totally not applicable if your icing isn't made with butter, but I thought I would share just in case :) Good luck!
