OK so today is the very first time I am making a substantial amount of cupcakes for an event. It is a baby shower for twins. The cupcakes are my Two Peas in a Pod cupcakes very very cute for little twinigans! Hopefully today will go better than yesterday....I made a cake for our nephew's birthday.
1st the batter spewed over the pans while baking, then apparently I didn't chill the cake enough for the crumb coat, then I didn't have the proper tools to smooth the buttercream, & my hand was so shaky I had a horrible time with the squeeze bag & doing the trim work with the icing, I had to keep stopping & starting over! It is definitely NOT up to my cupcake standards!! I can decorate 1 little tiny cupcake & take a rest...you cannot do that with an entire cake. I am a cupcake maker & I suck as a cake maker! It will taste fine but the look of it leaves something to be desired. It's very amateurish & I am slightly embarrassed. Oh well :( Off to cupcake land pictures of the finished peapod cupcakes will be posted later. Note to self: these cupcakes better look adorable!
OK 1st batch is in....vanilla
