Well todays the day!

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!
