20 dozen ... phew!
This weekend marks my official 1st paid cupcake orders. And by chance they happened on the same weekend.
All was well until I was elbow deep in flour and cream cheese frosting and I realized that I was one Tablespoon short on red food coloring for the RED velvet cupcakes, and that I had managed to buy the wrong type of vanilla pudding. Slight panic - not good.
I could hear the clock ticking away, and was pretty convinced there was no way I was going to make it. BUT I finished and was able to decorate the 1st order of 5 dozen, ON TIME!
And I survived to share my pictures of the day......

Cupcake Anyone?
Okay, I will admit I have become totally consumed by all things cupcake. I am pretty sure those around me have come to the conclusion that I have lost my mind. But baking really does make me happy...AND I really enjoy making things that make others happy. And what is better than a mini cupcake?
I have been expanding on my list of flavors. This is what I have thus far....
- Cinnamon Toast: Cinnamon Cupcake with Cinnamon - Sugar Cream Cheese Frosting
- Pink Lemonade: Pink Lemonade cupcake with Lemon Cream Cheese Frosting
- White Chocolate Coconut: Coconut Cupcake with White Chocolate Cream Cheese Frosting
- Red Velvet: Red Velvet Cupcake with Vanilla Cream Cheese Frosting
- Chocolate: Chocolate cupcake with Chocolate/Vanilla Cream Cheese Frosting
- Cookies n' Creme: Cookies n' Creme Cupcake with Oreo Cookie Crust and Cookies n' Cream, Cream Cheese Frosting
- Cupcake balls and Cupcake pops too! (pretty much any flavor and color)
* These have all received high ratings from my own highly qualified taste testers (which include my kids).
Here's what I have lined up to bake next, I will let you know how it goes!
Guinness chocolate ganache cupcake with Irish Cream cream cheese frosting
Beer Cheese Cupcakes with Bacon Cheddar Cream Cheese Frosting (yeah...interesting one. I am going to go for savory)
I will post some pictures of my previous adventures...more to come!
