My Second Cupcake!
Pink fuzzy cupcake! Sooo Dr. Seuss!
Upon realizing the lack of the the big swirl tip, as mentioned on my previous cupcake post, I rummaged through my lot of tips looking for cool ones and I found the grass one! However, this gloomy Sunday, asked for pink frosting, so there you have it!
I’m quite proud about this pic too, I am never taking my pics at night again. Doesn’t even seem that it was taken in the same house as the other cupcake.
OK here we go, what I learned was:
- How to make White “Wedding Cake” Frosting, which was better tasting than the Buttercream.
- The Grass Tip
is really fun to use.
- Natural Lighting is much better than the stupid built in flash.
This is my first cupcake ever.
This past Monday I decided to tackle cupcakes. I don’t know if you know this about me, but I have a habit of diving head first into things which usually means a lot of adaptation on the fly.
The plan was to make mini cupcakes and decorate every one of them differently. The Reynolds mini cupcake wrappers did not agree with the plan, all of them decided to flop off my mini cupcakes like sad wilted petals staring at you, from that vase you’ve been pretending not to notice should have been emptied for the last two weeks, at least. It might have been the wrong recipe for cupcakes or maybe the wrappers aren’t that great, the fact is in the end I had little (yummy!) cake nuggets and two full sized cupcakes I had made just for kicks, that saved the day.
Anyways, what I learned was:
- How to make Chocolate Buttercream Frosting, which was yummy! (But too rich for my taste.)
- I do not have the appropriate pastry tip for that lovely classic cupcake swirl.
- I do not have that round tip for that lovely other classic cupcake swirl.
- Cupcakes are more work than they seem to be.
